Politics is taking over again
by Simon ini think it's getting a bit much.. please remember that while we dont mind some discussion of current affairs, we are not intending to be a political discussion forum.. i'm getting especially tired seeing some people making insulting and dismissive remarks and just posting dogma and propaganda.
worse still, it seems some people are *only* interested in posting on political threads and nothing else.
let me make it clear - that is not why we're here and if that is the only reason that you are here you will find the number of posts you have will be limited.. this of course goes for both sides.

Okay, now that I have read the Terms of Use (sheepish smile), I think what it really comes down to is consistent enforcement. If there is a rule that says no insulting remarks, then that rule should stand. Of course, I also know that it is easier said than done. All moderators can not be in all places; this board is simply too busy.
So, does anyone have any ideas on how we can help Simon enforce these rules?!

in the ToU?
What is the ToU? I might not officially be a newbie anymore, but sometimes I sure feel like one! Right now would be on of them!
Thanks for the translation!

Simon,
IMHO, it's not so much that the topics themselves are ... ummm ... unwelcoming ... it's just that there are a few who can morph these topics into something personal very quickly. I'm no saint, (of course, the Pope probably hasn't gotten to my nomination paperwork yet! ) but I think if there were a rule which disallowed name calling and insults and everyone knew it was going to be enforced, perhaps it could nip this problem in the bud.
Just my 2,

by Frannie Banannie inmost of yall don't know that i live with my ex-hubby (just watchin' his back)...he's retired from the navy, a stroke victim with an anxiety disorder among other psychological problems stemming from his iq of 85, i'm sure.....his stroke impaired his left side and he was left-handed, so the use of his right hand is unstable....i live with him to see that the water gets turned off when he leaves faucets running and goes to the store, to see that he eats regularly, to see that doors are closed and locked when he goes to bed or leaves the house, cause he forgets and leaves 'em open and/or unlocked alla time....and to loan him money cause even tho he makes more than i do, he can't handle his finances successfully from month to month...... this morning, he ranted and raved and called the police dept.
to report that two garbage trucks were cruising down our street side-by-side blocking traffic while they were picking up garbage (they do this every week)....he wasn't going anywhere, just got irritated that they were blocking the street as they went about their business.....a short while later, he went somewhere and came back with a loaded gun in a shoulder holster....my mouth fell open and i asked very mildly..."what are you doing with that gun?
"......he said that he bought it and starts classes tomorrow to be certified to carry a concealed weapon......he says things are getting too nasty around town...... friends.....we're talkin' about "forrest gump with a bad attitude" here.....question is: how do i handle this without pissin' him off....if i call his sis or son and give them a "heads up" he'll know i told 'em.....i could call the class instructor where he's going to be certified, but there's no guarantee they'll listen when i tell 'em the problem and no guarantee they'd take the gun away from him anyway......my only other choice is to let him just go ahead and "do his thing" and "hang" himself for mopry with intent to creep.....or whatever they charge people with who have no business with a gun in the first place.. help, please....i need advice pretty soon here..... frannie b

Yes, "Diablo" does mean "Devil" in spanish! As much as I love the connection, there is a mountain in that region called "Mt. Diablo". There are a lot of businesses with the name "Diablo" in them in that area.
Of course, who's to say the biz was named after the mountain?!

Pardon my ignorance, but what is this all about?! Obviously these are copies of Instant Message conversations, but why do these people contact you?
we can have some of that nice red wine we get from the california branch
What is this in reference to? Does it have anything to do with the vineyard one of WT's lawyers co-own in Byron, CA (with a mortgage from the WT, no less?) see thread http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/11/61977/1.ashx
Inquiring Minds Want to Know,
