No Politics Rule?
Calendargirl:
THanks Todd for your opinion and i am happy to say we are doing what is right. What is so great about this site is that it is free for those to use or choose not to use if they aren't happy with how it is run.
Justin explained it very well. We have awesome moderators that keep our boards held to great standards.

K Marie,
Whatever you say.

Traxx it may appear to be a bit hypocritical, however it is a necessary evil. Those ads (there's only one "d" there, people) are randomly generated and the site actually has no control over what's displayed. The ads displayed will be chosen according to content that is currently being viewed, or has recently been viewed, on your computer. Me, for example, I'm currently researching flash programs; thus I currently have an ad for a site that generates flash media.
There is a "no politics" rule here but it must be excepted for the randomly generated ads. It's also common that I see ads for Bear Archery...but compounds/non-traditional bows are taboo here.
The biggest thing is that, regardless of whether you feel it is fair or not, the ads pay for the site. I'm not willing to pay for the site...as it is, I'm a ruin enough financially that I have only had peanut butter and bread for eight days...some day, I will subscribe...in the mean time, I'm not paying for the site. The average user isn't paying for the site. Therefor, I, nor we, get to make the rules...or exceptions.
On the plus side, I'm sure that if you were to pony up the cost of running PA.com, they would let you discuss whatever you want.

Todd do you just want to complain today or what. Mentioning government doesn't make it political any more than mentioning drugs makes it medicinal. If you can see the difference between medicinal codeine and cocaine you should be able to see the difference between the other. But that isn't near as satisfying as trying to argue is it.
Traxx:
whatever Justin.People can justify anything,if they want to i guess.If you cant,or wont see the connection between the 2,then i guess we'll hafta just agree to dissagree,on that,and be done with it.
