The price one may pay for bringing forth the truth, or standing up for justice and to personal attacks from the bully clique...is still worth it. :thumbup:

I still want to know... why do you socialize (play golf) with racists?

Question is for CNM , so will allow him to respond, but..

Why do you enable hate and racists on this forum. This forum has rules.....but....it appears hate is a stronger motivator.

I always found hating simply took a lot time away from meeting new people and learning.

Depends on what you want, I suppose.

sorry, typo. oxo:icon_wink: *taze

Excellent question of Northwoods Bucco. :thumbup:

But that question needs to be asked of a whole lot more people...than just Northwoods. :ohdear:

1. They now know to not express their racist/bigoted comments around me...and I can live with that.

2. I like team golf with 5 or 6 foursomes, playing different games for money and it would be almost impossible around here, to consistently assemble groups that large...without having at least some racists and bigots in it.


Satisfied? :ho:

I agree with you. I have friends on both "sides of the aisle." I respect all of them... and their views. Some may not have the same political viewpoint I do, but I respect that they feel differently than I do. They are still my friends. I don't feel any of my friends, regardless of their political viewpoint, are racist.

I had a simple question to CNM... "if you have such a visceral reaction to people you feel are racist, why do you golf with them?"

Oh Bucco... you seem confused. CNM is just a poster on this forum, like you and me. He doesn't control who posts. CNM doesn't "enable" who posts.

Why the constant desire to close threads, John? Just skip the threads that don't interest you. I honestly don't understand?

Yes. Satisfied.
First of all... I give you TOTAL credit for being honest.
So what you are saying is "I know I play golf with racist people but as long as they don't verbalize their racist comments around me, I'm fine."
And "it would be almost impossible around here, to consistently assemble golf groups..without having at least some racists and bigots in it."
You chastise people for being complacent. You stand up for injustice!!! Yet you socialize with these people. Because as long as they don't verbalize their viewpoints, I'm fine. Because I really really like to golf.

John, I respect your point of view as I do others, whether I agree with them or not. This is a message/discussion board and you will discover many different points of view. You may even be persuaded to change your view on a subject.

I abhor censorship, as you are encouraging, for the unsaid message is the reader is not intelligent enough to decipher the truth.

This board has always had a rule, with the previous owners and with the current operators that political posts are not allowed. When enough posters requested a political category, it was granted, but it became a hate filled ocean of crap and those boards were closed.

The problem, I'm starting to see that happen to our regular and decent forums. I think the moderator should not allow threads that pertain these riots, and I'm afraid they are allowing them because it increases traffic count which increases advertising dollars. That' why things keep rolling along. Why don't they let them reinstate those boards and all the CNM posts can moved over there - Out of Sight Out of Mind!!

:ho:
