Regarding the abortion thread...


Blade

Recommended Posts

Yes, it was me who killed it. <br /><br />I do not want this board used as a forum to support or link to any <br />websites on either side of this debate. It is too controversial... no <br />one is "right" or "wrong"... and all it does is piss off those who read <br />and participate. <br /><br />Sorry guys.... normally I wont touch the crap on this board, but this <br />thread was just an excuse to find reasons to dislike your fellow members. <br /><br />I'll have none of that. (unless its a good arguement over something football-related) <img border="0" title="" alt="[smile]" src="smile.gif" /><br /> <br /> <small>[ March 04, 2002, 06:21 PM: Message edited by: Blade ]</small>

Blade - With all due respect man, I'm not really sure why you deleted the thread. It seemed like we were expressing our opinions in a respectful manner to me...sorry about posting the link, but I was using it to support my opinion. You could have just deleted the post, not the entire thread<br /><br />If you deleted this thread you should've deleted the "OT: Poll in the Islamic World Shows..." thread. That degraded into Art and Kefka calling each other bigots. <br /><br />I can see deleting it if we start calling each other names, but I thought it was an interesting topic to discuss.<br /><br />I don't really understand, I guess.

I have to agree with OrangeSkin here, Blade. I don't really understand why the pro-life/pro-choice thread was nuked. I understand your desire to curb any ugliness amongst the Redskin faithful here, to be sure, Blade. However, rather than inciting intense debate and name-calling, the only folks who seemed to be paying that thread any attention were those of the pro-life persuasion, making it one big agreement-fest.

Orangeskin:<br /><br />Had I read that thread you mentioned, I very well may have nuked it. My time lately is rather limited, so I dont come here much. <br /><br />Fact is that these type of issues are purely devisive. Politics, philosophy, & religion have no right answers; and no one wants truly wants to hear another point of view. Either your on my side, or your not. <br /><br />Remember, this is a REDSKINS board where fans COME to be TOGETHER. I dont mind providing a forum for off-topic issues, but when they are antithetical to the purpose of the board, I will take a stand.<br /><br />Sorry if you cant understand that. <br /><br />GlennX:<br /><br />I would have nuked the thread regardless of what side seemed to have the agreement-fest going on. A thread like that hangs out like a worm on a hook looking to catch another person up in a very devisive issue. I'd prefer if we save our dislike for the Cowboy & Eagle fans who drive by with thier flame-throwers.

There's nothing wrong with a little verbal bump and grind. Not too much gets removed from any of the boards hosted here, so, it's hard to complain too loudly against Blade's decision here.<br /><br />I didn't delete the abortion thread much the same as I didn't hinder or delete the thread I was participating in below because I feel it's appropriate, especially on this board, to allow all manner of discussion to take place. Even with the discussion I was participating in, I almost ended it because the only thing I really feel shouldn't be allowed is disingenuous lies or propoganda. Had Kefka not admitted the obvious responsibility of the terrorists who committed the crimes against the U.S., I'd have ended that thread under those guidelines.<br /><br />Still, there are limits. Blade is a good Nanny for the most part, and even though I may not always agree with his calls, I think his calls are so rarely intrusive that we shouldn't give it too much angst. But, that's just me <img border="0" title="" alt="[smile]" src="smile.gif" /> .
