These seem to be the most argued topics in the world. We have no problem with you guys discussing them. But be civilized. We have seen some of the topics get out of hand lately and we won't tolerate it.

If there is a topic in question, the Mods have the ability to move it off the public board for review. From there we will decide whether the topic can be re released or not.

Be aware, we are not trying to control your "speech." You can say whatever you want, but keep your opinions on the topic and not on those discussing it.

All I ask is to be respectful to your fellow POs and their opinions.

The "NO FLAMING" rule stands in this forum too. DOUBLE TIME ACTUALLY. Just b/c this is a place to express your opinions, doesn't mean you can disregard this rule!

We want to keep PO a board of friends.
Thank you for your cooperation.

UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE!


After a quick convo with Doot over instant messenger, she has decided to keep the lock down on political and religious topics after all.

If you are new here, let me explain the reasons why such discussions are now discouraged:

In light of several political events (9/11, Iraq, elections, world affairs, etc.), there's been a lot of discussion going on, most of them led on by people with high political interests, and passionately defending their positions.

Unfortunately, they were a wee bit too passionate.

All hell broke loose. Sad

So now, the new rule is: no political or religious discussions until further order. They have shown time and again that what they give in discussion value, they also give in flames and anger, despite repeated calls to order. Thus, all new political/religious topics will be locked with a pointer to this thread here. It's not really fun, I know. Sad But in the end, that's what it all came to.

I'm offended that you made that announcement and not me.

Apparently I'm not on the "To be trusted" mod list..*sniffle*
