Can't even rant in the rant and rave section

**40sondacurb** · 01-17-2005, 11:21 PM

A thread has recently been shut down because people were posting their opinions about Bill Gates. From my perspective it was an intelegent debate but the staff here thought the discusion was geting "out of hand" and the thread was shut down

I'm not coming back to the rants and raves section of this forum it is too censored. when one can not rant in the rant room then Jery Fallwel has gone toofar!!!

Hi 40sondacurb

The closure of the thread in question had nothing to do with ranting and raving at all. Personal attacks on other members no matter how small are not allowed in this forum. The rant and rave forum is designed for the purpose of venting your own frustrations, not taking them out on others. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but this does not open the door for personal attacks because they expressed a personal view.

This is why I'm pleased with this forum.

There are rules on personal attacks and they're enforced!!
