Its amazing how things can get out of control when using a keyboard to communicate. You cant read expression or body language to really know what the other person is saying.
You dont need to apologize Hooter Patrol, you were stating your opinions and Im sure if we could see your expressions rather than just the words there wouldn't have been a problem.
I have had posts edited too. I made a joke about Pres Bush in relation to how thick the ice was and some guy took offense to it and called me "political". If its ok for Saturday Night Live, Conan O'Brian and even local TV personalities to poke fun why cant I? The freedom of speech is a treasure we have in the USA.
Granted, I have posted a couple of realtaliation emails when somebody attacks me personaly, those should be deleted or edited. Once again, you cant read expression and its easy to fly off the handle because one is hiding behind a computer monitor.
I guess the mod's have to inforce high standards to keep a quality product like they have with the Utah chapter of BFT. Yes, I am sure it is a power trip for some of them but who dosent abuse power?
I think posts should be taken in content rather than a set of rules.
Just my two cents.
