Re: Moratorium on the Political Thread
I am sure some of you will be delighted that I choose not to post in The Political Forum at this time. This is an extremely heated campaign and as said by others, and I've said myself, we're not going to change each others minds.
With that said, I do not agree with censorship of this nature. That's just wrong and quite frankly, un-American. (Not speaking to you directly Johnny because your great love of our country is evident.)
As Susan points out, many of these people do not live in The Villages. They may be wannabe's, but that has yet to happen and may not happen at all.
I never discuss politics in a social gathering, EVER, or religion for that matter. Just my own rule of thumb. My personal friends are not chosen by the candidate or party they are affiliated with. I agree with Russ's comment about True Friendship versus Forum Friendship.
So, I am asking the admins to leave up the Political Forum strictly on the stand of Freedom of Speech, and I am also asking the people on BOTH sides of the political aisle to take the "higher road".
