ive spoken with hugo about this and understand the situation.
Now as for the 240 situation...lol come on OZMO even though the have a person from politics in them doesnt make them political. Apparently its his right to spam the board with ignorant thread after ignorant thread which may seem fine b/c hey he is really the only person that does it. However if I or others where to do the same I dont think you or hugo would have the same attitude. I could have started a thread a day about every ignorant piece of shit rumor about obama just like 240 did about palin/mccain and i dont think you guys would have been as understanding. Not b/c its about obama but b/c of the spamming of ignorant shit, if its a legit topic fine but applesauce avalanche, palins daughter being a gang banging lesbo? come the fuck on bro. I could start a thread a day about obamas Uh Uh Uh and they would all be seperate topic and be politically related would they not? would it be right no...this is what i was and have complained about and have had no not one resolution to, nor even a respectable response to.
You are assuming something about me that's probably incorrect. Perhaps because you see me as "liberal" and therefore I'd only remove posts from people whom i disagree with. I think I've demonstrated to you that I pretty much operate based on good principle and have shown at least some integrity regarding my views on politics as i don't summarily dismiss anything conservative or liberal as right or wrong. I admit short comings of both parties even though i lean somewhat to the left. And i certainly wouldn't apply my own views, liberal or conservative, in how i moderate the board; even with people i generally dislike. (Although I have been tempted

) 99% of the time, the only posts i remove are racist or sexists.
I view many posts as stupid and have seen them come from many different people. The problem with the idea of removing a post that contains a some degree of politics, but is stupid, is that the selection process would be subjective. 240's post about Palin's slutty daughter is relevant to politics just as someone else might see Obama's hidden Muslim agenda as factual. Rather than arguing each post the forum's natural evolution takes care of it as the thread eventually moves to the 2nd page and is soon forgotten. If the "stupid" post survives and stays on the 1st page it's because it has generated discussion and therefore adding to the general idea of the forum.
