Cole, this is as good as it gets. We can post what we want, but items as he describes are just in their proper place.

Nudists believe in certain things as well, but they usually don't walk down public streets nude either. They respect the rules.

There's a time and place for everything, we've simply said that if you're posting "political" topics on this forum, they go in a certain place. Exactly in the same way that things "For Sale" go in the Marketplace and "Off topic" humor threads go in Off Topic.
Bull,

If you are implying that my views are similar to a nudist, ok, I think the same on your statement.

It was only meant as a simple analogy.

Brother,

I normally don't post some crazy shit, however, I do get a little crazy on the racing. I haven't posted on racing because I have 2 race cars down, really pissing me off. My issue is that crazy statement, Bull is a good egg. I believe in free speech, I realize this is privately run site, I get it, the same is happening on almost all social platforms using the similar arguments. Where does it end?

Bull,

I don't take it that way, I think that statement is meant to make my comments seem to be on the fringe, tin foil hat. The same approach is happening everywhere, call your opponent/detractor a racist, misogynistic, etc. so to belittle the comments/position. I don't belittle you, I ask the same.

Believe me, and you know me a little. I am in agreement with you. Most if not all social media would have some of us arrested for what we post let alone allow it to stand in public. I like this place. It is one of the last standing solid free places we can all get together and rant about anything.

Brother,

I do know you, I like the site and Bull. However, Bull's soft approach, this is no big deal, what's the problem? I have a problem with it. Using an "analogy" that my comments are similar to a nudist colony, are you kidding me?

I get your sentiment on this. However, as a "car" forum, many don't come here nor expect the majority of new posts to be political at any given time. As a result of trying not to become HellcatPoliticalForum, we are simply utilizing a section where all things political can be "freely" discussed by whomever. We are making it a user requested feature at a "car" site.

We don't allow porn here as this a car site, so according to your logic we are censoring other things as well. Your characterization of censorship isn't the same analogy, but I get it does invoke a similar feeling.

First, @BULL is just stating what was agreed on by the "staff".
He did not push this new rule. I was one of the ones that had an issue with about 80% of all new posts being politically charged.
I really don't get it, no one is saying you cannot post political rhetoric, just use the members "Anything Goes" section.
the issue is not debatable.

Wow, Bull screwed up so let's send another staff team. That's how I read it. Now my comments are being related to porn, what is next? call me a racist?

"If your thread isn't about cars, or some funny cow slipping on the ice, or cat slapping a printer, there's a good chance it's political. Yes, there are topics about cars that are political, but they were about cars first, so they may be ok... may..

The above statement is so flawed on so many levels,

Another staff team to the rescue, yes, just post it "back of the bus" nothing wrong here, keep it on the fringe, this is a car forum, no politics are in the car industry, really? What world do you live in?

My posts have been associated with nudist colony and porn, next is racist, just the world we live in.

I presented the logic of the transition. I never related your comments to porn? I don't fault your concerns or issues one bit, but picking statements you know were meant in jest just to make arguments? No one here is your enemy nor is preventing you from participating/discussing anything political (of which I've never seen you participate in).

The comments were not in jest, Bull knows it. By bringing up porn in your response, is 100% implying that my comments are fringe and are similar to porn, not by mistake, I don't post political stuff or attack anyone, my issue is that crazy statement (imo). I don't post to piss people off or to insult anyone, never have.

By having so many staff members respond to my posts is telling. I must be dealt with, can't have any free thinkers here.

Cole, I simply don't understand why you are taking this position.

And if you didn't like my "soft" position, then here it is plain and simple.

If any member would like to post political topics, they belong in the Anything Goes forum. You, me, anybody...

With that, this thread is done.
