A question regarding the political forum.

In the sticky on information regarding posting in the political forum Kurt has this to say as the last admonishment. "You have sent a PM because you are "too nice" to post it in public".
So here is my question. Why is the political forum private, like the lounge, now, when previously it was open? The forum is entitled "Politics & Current Events". If it is what is going on outside SoWal, why is it private. I may be dense but I don't understand. I realize it is a website owned and operated by an individual and it is definitely a successful and useful one for our area. However, it is a form of censorship IMHO, to make the political forum "private" If this post is in error, please understand that I saw the "private" at one time recently when my computer shut down and I had to log in.

Douglas, you deleted your post? Why? I think you're the only one who got the joke. 😀

30 A I got it and all I could think is that somebody would have to keep fairness statistics complete with charts and graphs. Who is willing to do that I wonder?

Unfortunately a secret cabal reviewed my post and found it wanting in both substance and style. It will be resubmitted to the subcommittee for potential reposting after the customary 30 day wait period. 😉

It was funny, but once you post on sowal, you have to be willing to take the bitter with the good.

Some people only want to hear what they want to hear and therefore get mad when people post what they don't want to hear. The other extreme are the people who just like to fight without looking for a solution to the problem and there is nothing wrong with a good debate.

When I hear always or never, the topic immediately becomes suspect as to the validity of the info.

This little ditty has nothing to do with assessing Dougie's post which was witty as usual, but I did think it might eliminate some whining.

....and with all the whining that goes on on any given day, there should probably be an AA forum added to the site where members could be sent to detox.....

Maybe because I didn't understand it as it is until Teresa explained it more fully. Why is it some of you must turn everything posted into a confrontation? I asked a civil question and received a civil answer which is definitely more than I got from you.
blow it in a most gentile manner out of your arse
