Ok, I disagree 

Shut it down!

Fortunately, you don't get to make that decision. 

I created a political page on Facebook when Todd Hickman was around. The first thing I ran into was people crying about freedom of speech because we had rules.....like no cursing, no memes and no personal attacks. It was and is still my opinion, if you can't discuss politics or anything topic without using those 3 things, that's a you problem.   There is no freedom of anything on a personal page.......just like I can't come to your house and ring your doorbell repeatedly at 3am to protest doorbells.

So you can’t have a discussion on video of a politician talking on the Senate or House floor? 
 

Make that make sense. 

They did it before there was video.....

I dont agree with the rule change because it won’t improve the civility of posts. Your past several posts have proven that. You can still use YouTube and other news sources. 
 

FYI - I agree with many of your posts but you can take it too far

I too agree with many of your posts but find you to be thin skinned like many others on this forum. Appreciate your input.

Battling the admin back and forth including four or more posts calling to shut down the political forum, which by the way is way off topic. Just one example.

I think you have made your opinion known several times. 

That is not going to change any rule on this forum. 

Participation is optional, following the rules is not.

You are off topic

There is no battle hence the thin skin. I simply stated to shut it down instead of threatening to shut it down. The statement of shutting it down has been brought up a lot over the years. I happen to agree with him wanting to  shutdown down so I just kept telling him to do it. 
 

As for getting off topic that could be said about every thread that is started. Amazing how we pick and choose who’s allowed to get off topic. lol

I will make it a point going forward to remind people to stay on topic which means I will be extremely busy because it happens often.

I disagree - I think it will force people to have discussion's versus just replying with links to other peoples opinion.

The links provided sources, unlike your alternative facts. You would still call a link opinion, even if it came straight from Trump’s mouth. You still believe Trumps uncle taught the Unabomber.  😆

I only call links opinions when they are opinion articles.

You can still copy and paste your responses - just provide the links

Just for clarification, I don't get to make that decision. Only the owner can take down a forum.

I can only recommend. (but he tends to agree most times with my recommend)

Now, back on topic.

ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox have all joined in protest of the ban. Those networks will not send reporters or camera crews to cover the White House and it's press conferences.

Good for them.

Banning CNN is pretty childish if you ask me and I am not a CNN or MSNOW fan.

Interesting.

Former President Barack Obama never banned an entire news organization or revoked press credentials, though his administration briefly attempted to exclude Fox News from a 2009 pool interview before backing down.

Has Trump’s ban been enforced? Then it’s an attempt too. I see no difference.The article is on page 1 of this thread. It’s not difficult to find. I also had a post about Trump being dissatisfied with military leaks.

Stupid move on Trumps behalf.

I may be a lot of things but thin skinned is not one of them. Just ask my wife.🙂 I do try to be respectful to all.

while there’s talk about shutting it down, it’s probably one of the most active forums here.
 

To stay on topic, stupid move of Trump.
