I am pretty sure quite a few of these have been bent the last 48 hrs

What rules? I have shown what the word political means. This was by definition not political. In the military, we do not simply stop if an injustice is being done…contrary to what non-serving members like to think. We are not mindless drones of a master.

I have told you before I served in the military. I said my piece, I am done.

right now i am reviewing some things with this board . the off topic lounge and the NFL news thread might be done away with and all topics on this board will be simply related to the WFT and that only

SportsHoopla has places to discuss these matters and maybe that is a better place for these conversations since we have a LOOPHOLE problem . you have to understand what is political and what can go political . and when a call might be needed to be made . i make them when i have to

so if you cant respect that i am the moderator , that we have rules in place that were voted for by the posters , and that i will enforce them , and we cant address questions without acting like an adult , then maybe your time is up and you need a new home

i havent made a decision yet and i might take a vote on it but i dont have to have these threads here and if my choices cant be respected or talked about in an adult matter then maybe its time to end it

i can admit to a rush to judgment and perhaps i could have let it play out more and perhaps i could have used better wording but even admitting that doesnt seem to stop the crap . the other side could have used better words and such as well for example " dont worry dad we wont let it go political and if it does you can step in "

so we will see how it goes

Fair enough. Questioning the moderator is allowed according to the rules you posted. I just did it in the wrong thread. Apparently I should have done so in the “smack talk” thread.

I'll add my two cents in here and live with whatever the decisions are.

If we are going to be a WTF only board. Then not only does Off Topic and NFL East or NFL News along with the Smack Talk thread have to go because none of them have anything to do with the WTF.

It also means posts about the 9ers, Patriots etc. etc. should be deleted because they are not about the WTF.

It would also mean coach can't talk about KSU, I can't talk about Penn State because again ... that is not about the WTF.

That is all.

Lol, this reminds me of being in HS. I think the issue has passed. Let’s move on. Anything can turn in to politics and I guess if the mod thinks it is, he should just shut the particular subject down. I for one could give a shit less. Words on a message board has never and will never hurt me
