    I edited my post... I am also a moderator in another forum..Politics has no place here..sometimes it's difficult to resist.
    I remember when hot rods were all home made.

In this case, the rules were put into place because of previous threads in this forums infancy that bent noses out of place. Everyone has strong political views and we respect that, in return we expect that the members here respect the rules that are in place here.


    Can't put it any plainer than that now can I.

    Close the lounge!!!!!!!!!!

    What about all the help it has done on other topic's! My pc wouldn't be working if it was not for the lounge!

    Bad Idea!

    I'm confused (well not really).

    But what is the definition of "Shoot the breeze about all the non Hot Rod stuff..." anyhow. Maybe it should read 'Shoot the breeze about all the non Hot Rod stuff except for anything political ...'

    I don't know about other people, but i don't come here to listen to somebody's marriage problems....all of the things he is unhappy about....or someone tell us how we should behave, what to believe, how to vote, or what we should believe about God. This is the same reason I don't watch daytime dramas. :-)

    I come here to look at people's projects, coverage of car events, advise about "automotive things", and things people have discovered concerning....you guessed it....cars. If I want to hear more about politics, social issues, or the things people do to each other, I'll turn on the TV.

    i suppose that comment is directed to my thread .. since it is the second biggest thread in the lounge i kinda thought it was doing ok ,, a successfull thread has a 10 to 1 post to view ratio .. random stuff is running over 40 to 1 .. .. there is life beyond cars .. even on a car site ..
    iv`e used up all my sick days at work .. can i call in dead ?

    Well now I am confused and a little more miffed.

    I really can appreciate the moderators issues with political brouhaha posts especially ones that end up going well off of the tangent or causing personl indigestion to be but into words. [Perhaps there should be a forum for polictical issues, but with rules about harshness, libel and slander. A forum that can be closed upon the first glimpse of abuse. That way the stuff stays out of the hotrod material.]

    But my problem is that I don't recall that the original thread contained any political content. It was about property rights and a misguided court decision. Whether the violators were Mexican, Cubans, Costa Ricans, Chinese, Mongolians or even Venusians doesn't really have much to do with the primary issue.

    When I went back to re-read the short thread, it was gone. WTF! Almost like it never happened.

    Now we all look like idiots because we are discussing something that doesn't exist. A mind is a terrible thing to waste, so I would appreciate not having to survive mind games here.

    Hotrodpaint - while I have a great appreciation for you and your contributions to this site from which even I have benefited, my only question is that if you find that people on the HAMB criticize and whine too much why are you a member there? Obviously there must be something gratifying about the place.

    Well, guess I have gone too far once again. Hopefully not to be outcasted to the tar pits. Didn't mean to offend, just wanted to do a wisdom check.

    BTW, Thanks for the support Don!

    Catch you all later!

    Was a member, but stopped visiting it a few months ago. I did drop in about a week ago, but the tone was the same, so I'm done.

    Mr. Mustang, I applaud you for keeping this generally a friendly place.

    Well, I've gotten a couple opposing responses, so my mission here is complete. :-)~

    Don,

    There is a forum for talking politics, CLICK HERE

    You are not offending, just bringing something to this automotive forum that does not belong, that is all. You have to remember, young people (children as young as 8 years old) who do searches for their dream cars (remember way back when, I used to dig through magazines looking for all of the really cool automotive ads and stuff, now they have the internet) end up on this forum, as such, we attempt to do our best at keeping things below an R ratings.

    Again we appreciate your understanding and future cooperation in this matter.

    Hope all is well with you and yours.

    Sincerely,


    Bill S.

    Wow, bet that's one heckuva site! Looks like anyone can get their arse burned and beaten there on any given day. Without your assistance I probably would have never stumbled upon it. That place looks absolutely wicked. How come a nice guy like you knows about it??

    I think my sensitivities are too tender for that site. Maybe I'll just bite my tongue and curb my enthusiasm and stay here.

    Neutral third party moderator here= peace

    As for that web site, someone else on another web forum posted it I just happened to remember the post. Remember the old saying be careful what you wish for.......Then remember, you did ask above for a forum you could talk politics, didn't you
