| Navy Veteran Location: Texas Posts: 6,335 | Can you disrespectful Numbnutted f@!#$#@ing ass wipes start your own "Lets bash" reagan thread? Oh no, can't do that, you sick puppies, you can't let the man lie dead for 24 horus and a thread in his honor alone with out showing your true colors. Each of you posting in here negtative crap is a Grade A SHIT BAG. And you wonder why Volcanvo can't get a bigger user base? Cause there is NO sense of decorum around here. Was is SO hard to think you numbskulls could Respect the thread and the man and have the decency to start your very own Reagan basher thread??? Einstein's "Theory of Relativity" is still being challenged to this day, but by consensus Global Warming is a fact... that's REAL science at work, why didn't Albert just go that route? |

| Retired Posts: 7,312 | While I disagree with Mr. V's chosen way to express himself, I was also going to request that one thread be left for memorial only and people could start as many negative ones they wanted. There is such a thing as respect for the recently departed and I have to agree with V that it displays a lack of basic tact, couth, and decorum to refuse to allow that respect to be paid.

| 9/11: Inside Job Location: Hawai'i, Big Island Posts: 10,453 | Mia, the site subtitles itself as "heated debate." Now, I will grant that there have been topics posted which offer little to debate. "Ronald Reagan RIP" isn't a non-controversial subject. To restrict the comments to respectful ones is to restrict the purpose of the website. If all we want is honey, we can get that from Safeway. I like argument; Sean says we won't be banned for our opinions. I was not rude to the members, just opinionated about Reagan. This is not his funeral service. It's debate. No one has refused to allow the offers of respect. I and others have just disagreed it is due.

| Retired Posts: 7,312 | Right - I didn't say 100 topics to be debated shouldn't have been posted, if that's what was wanted. Not all threads are posted for debate, even though that's the name of the website. Mutual agreement to hold one thread as a memorial is not restricting debate. It was just my opinion anyway. I didn't try to make it happen ;-) "...with like-minded people one cannot discuss.

| Retired Posts: 7,312 | Good point. It should have been in a different category with a polite request for the thread to remain a memorial only, and for any debate to be in it's own thread. (IMO) ;-) V, you often do not define the intended purpose of your threads, then get mad when people don't read your mind well. :-( "...with like-minded people one cannot discuss.

| Navy Veteran Location: Texas Posts: 6,335 | I didn't start this. A "moderator" moved my disgust at that utter lack of... civility shown on this forum for a simple Reagan RIP thread. I really don't care. This is about what I have come to expect around here. Start a thread about how evil Bush is, use any sort of language, its "free speech" Get angry that people turn a respect for the dead thread into a bash thread and you get this treatment. Whatever.

![]() Neo Moderator Location: England Posts: 5,609 | I've moved two posts full of insults. And I helped to clean your thread of the, so called non respectful sort about R Reagon. Watch your tongue Mr Vicc, or rather I will be. If everyone else can conform to the rules, then so can you.

| Retired Posts: 7,312 | Can and will are two differn things. V, you're displaying exactly what I was talking about in the other thread! I'm waiting for you to say you're taking your toys and going HOME. "...with like-minded people one cannot discuss.

Irony, I love it.

| Navy Veteran Location: Texas Posts: 6,335 | I have no problem, this thread just makes a point IMHO. A mod moved my posts, made it out as some sort of slam on me, not laying out the context of the posts, no defense for me, insultingly titled... hey, if you want to show your bias, what better way then by trying to embarress a member fo the forums then what you did?
