Are you freakin kidding me?? Look, I merge threads every week on this board and move threads on occasion when they have absolutely nothing to do with politics.
For example, I merged two last night, both of them duplicate threads, one involving a general criticizing Iraq and another involving Gore winning the Nobel prize. I consider it a general clean up. Do it all the time.
Regarding the story about the pastor dying with the dildo up his butt, I couldn't give a rat's butt (so to speak) whether you want to keep on the Politics board. The story has nothing to do with politics. But if it's that important to you, either ask Stella to move it back from the Religion board or post it again, assuming Berserker or Ozmo believe it has some political angle (I don't).
