There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Well Said N2056!Having been involved in that little 'flare up' I am pleased to see that you are back.
I will not get into details of my involvement other than to say at the time I was pretty upset, and posted something that I really regretted...Panther was fast to act & it was gone before I had a chance to go edit it...for that I am thankful.
At that point I realized a few things, and a big one was that allowing anyone to get me overly worked up on a forum was something I could not allow. That was a big reason for my decision to take a 'time out'. I choose not to divulge other reasons, but the bottom line is that I hope all parties involved learned something and can get on with enjoying all that the group has to offer.
M-D, many thanks for the apology, and welcome back
