They had the right to do it and I agree, any platform that allows violence and seditious posts has the absolute right to shut it down - the 1st amendment does not apply here and if it violates the terms and conditions they can shut it down. If these folks want a platform for this purpose they have the right to generate there own capital and create one, but Amazon doesn’t have to support it. It is their right.

XL pipe line closed, so let's move the petroleum by train and truck how does that help emissions and this green deal. But it helps Warren Buffett who owns the trains transporting the product and hes a major money contributor to that party. How about the Freedom act releasing criminals murderers rapists. Shut down the border wall construction allow immigrants to just cross into the country. Tired of hands of our ice immigration workers. Reinstate catch and release programs. Spend trillions of taxpayer dollars to bail out cities who mishandled their funds. Just for starters, how's this working out for you. But wait I shouldn't talk about any of this because it's radical and doesn't go along with other people's way of thinking. if I were to talk like this on Facebook which I will not have any part of I would be terminated.

I think the this forum should not allow and block all political posts from now on.
That being said, I will respond to political posts that I disagree with.
But can we please keep this forum to boats and fishing - PLEASE
So if the moderators of this forum can not keep political posts out of it then I am outa here.......
So MODERATOR let me know - is this a forum for fishing and boats or is this a forum for political posts.

The subject of allowing political posts was discussed among the moderating team awhile back and at that time the decision was made not to implement any rules that would prevent political dialogue - it really hasn't been an issue. Civility and respect among forum members is expected however (despite the lack of a written rule) and any behavior to the contrary will not be tolerated. That being said, this is a community and we value the input of members and we will take suggestions/requests under advisement with the goal that any changes to forum policies are changes that are intended to improve everyone's experience. As such we will re-visit this topic internally. In the meantime, if you do not wish to engage in political discussion then I would suggest refraining from doing-so.

This post was forgotten until it was reopened yesterday and is now complaining about the subject being discussed. Good God damned if you do and damned if you don't. I will refrain from more of this discussion however when that door opens I'm going to walk in it.

Well I have to say that my responding to what was a political opinion has resulted in an uproar.
I am being accused of “ratcheting up the rhetoric” (via private PM).
I did not start the political discussion, I was responding to opinions with my opinion.
The reason I posted about not allowing political discussion in the future is to avoid these discussions.
But I guess I am the bad guy here for having my opinions.
So if you don’t like me responding to your political opinions don’t post them.

What political opinion did you respond to? You discussed the shutting down of Parlor and then further down the post you stated that this was an “assault on freedom of speech” In my opinion - that is a political opinion. Now I am done with this tread. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
