I would have preferred that it would have been moved. Unfortunately a post of mine (and a few others) were removed before the thread was closed.

I re-created much of what I had said and made it a post in political forums, where it was allowed to remain.

The problem with the political forums is that it is the one area where people are allowed to be abusive, post outright lies and insult other posters with no fear of having their posts removed, or being punished for outright nastiness and using terms that might get them a punch in the nose if they said such things in person.

For this reason, many people refuse to participate in the political forums.

Sad to say............
