Look fellas, Political discussion was banned because it degraded into name calling and hostility, and in the interest of keeping the board a friendly place to discuss and play Axis and Allies Games, we mods were deleting and editing post constantly.  We have tried many solutions to allow political discussion, but it always ends up hostile.  We would rather eliminate political discussion than try to baby-sit.  If you want to discuss politics, Google “political discussion board”, or start your own, because this isn’t it.

I don’t give a damn if you like it or not, if you disagree or not, this isn’t city hall; you don’t have Freedom of Speech rights here.  This is a privately funded discussion board for discussing and playing axis and allies and related games.  The General Discussion board is supposed to be a sideboard.

So, let it go, it isn’t going to happen…

OK, I tried to let this run, but it simply has far too much of a political element.

@Janus1:

thats not true at all. i can say he was a bad guy, based on my standards.

But you have to qualify it with “based on my standards…according to me…the way my beliefs are… etc.” Intuitively though, it just seems like some things are morally repugnant without qualification. Usually involving kids.

kids confuse things.
Look at Jehovah’s Witnesses, for example. A 14 y/o needs a blood transfusion to save his/her life. Because s/he is a JW, the parents (and him/her) deny this a blood transfusion. Do we respect his/her body and wishes? Or assault him/her in order to save his/her life?
