As you said, Trump is "mean". Therefore any public discussion of him in any way only gives him and his meanness some kind of notoriety and credibility. Besides, he's about to be impeached and then convicted by the Senate, removed from office, and then put to death for treason (at least according to former "Libertarian" VP candidate, now Republican presidential candidate wannabe William Weld: https://www.citizenfreepress.com/breaking/william-weld-says-president-trump-should-be-put-to-death/ ).

I think EEF crossed the line with his ad hominem and childish attacks, causing the thread to be locked.

You truly have no appreciation of someone trying to be objective and navigating through a complex story do you? They either must instantly accept your assessment of the situation otherwise they are stupid and should shut up. See, unlike you I don't have Trumps privates so deep down my throat that I can actually look around at what is being reported and have adult conversations to help me digest what is going on. While you are caressing his balls with your allegiance other people are trying to weigh the facts as they learn about them.

I guess he'll see a little something extra in his paycheck this month.

I didn’t even catch that. Guess I got used to not reading a bunch of his posts. ( just as a bunch of members skip over mine)
That was pretty colorful though.

Well said as usual.
Although originally I said he was an idiot. 4D chess proved otherwise. Shoulda used the term he’s an ass instead of mean.
Effective ass but still an ass.

See.
How you gonna lock that thread?

You might say the moderators IMPEACHED the TRUMP thread.

Why not?  Seems to be the popular PROGRESSIVE thing to do this week.

I find it troubling, if not consistent, how the mods here break the rules all the time (one in particular by posting in the classifieds for no reason other than sarcasm and jokes).

There have been plenty of "harsh" comments posted and not removed by mods in the name of "free speech".

Then they lock a thread about the President of the United States, of all topics.  No free speech issues there.

Nice.   :wtf:

The forum, I thought, belonged to the members.  Without us, you'd have nothing but TimCast videos, classifieds on occasion, and "heads".

Thanks for the rational, mature, lucid and relevant response.

We expected no less.

Way off topic, but relevant here. 

Mods here are SUPER tolerant, at least when compared to other boards I've been on and been admin/MOD on.  To each their own.  That said, running a board isn't free.  It takes start up money and usually money to keep going initially.  We don't have paid members here and many boards do to offset the cost.  Then there's the spammers to ban, boards that crash and ungrateful old fogies with nothing else to do texting you at 2 am because they can't view a thread with nekkid ladies when they get up at 8 am EST, etc. 

I view 2a as a community more than a forum/board.  I've met many members and have met the MODs.  They are pretty cool guys.  Well, except for that irritating tourettes guy. . .  :P

But I do see many on this board who say stuff that they PROBABLY wouldn't say to folks in person.  I say probably because I dunno for sure.  They might say those things in person.  Hell, sometimes I think some on here are the same person posting as different screen names just for kicks, are bored, like the attention, whatever.  Anyways, yeah, I can be a wiseass or even asshole at times here, but I tend to believe that one day, I'll meet many on this board.

Anyways, carry on.  Resume the regularly recorded bickering. . .

Why would I start a forum where trolls and fools who only know how to post sarcasm have yet another site to crap all over?

There's enough suffering in the world already.

because then you would be in charge and you could do as you please rather than wasting your time here where the mods suck so much

I must have struck a nerve to trigger you so severely.  Your comments are nothing but personal attacks and reflect poorly upon this forum.

And you call yourself a moderator.   You're the peanut gallery as far as I can tell.

Speaking of mods, what's the status on fixing the problem everyone has reported re: the inability to upload pictures?

Who ever heard of a forum that you can't upload a single picture to?

Maybe it's not as important as spending time defending your exemplary work as "MODERATOR" or attacking other members for having and posting an opinion?   :popcorn:
