Houston,

You can't deny that it is an item in the T&C: 'Political attacks'. They are not allowed HERE. The reason is (I assume) that things can completely get out of control here if they ARE allowed. It does not say that political issues can't be discussed here. But attacks must be avoided. And attacks need not be directed to any person here before they are regarded as violations. Your notion that 'the president is an imbecile' alone is enough to have your reply be regarded as a violation. Why? Because if your remark is not regarded as such, then you clear the path for someone else who wants to write that Kelly is the biggest idiot on earth, and so on.

At this point, I'm not yet sending a private e-mail to the moderator. For now, I prefer to await your reply to my argument.

>"Messages", well that’s plural and does not really help to home in on the alleged "rule violation". What specifically is it that is allegedly breaking the rules, and which specific rule or rules have been broken. I see NO expletives, I see NO personal attacks on individuals, I see NO trolling - what I do see is opinion and free speech. Jay, if you are going to make so much effort to CC the whole world in your holy quest then the least you could be is civil enough to actually point out where exactly the alleged rule breaking is. Or are you just baiting me (which just has to be against the rules)? Maybe you just don’t like to hear the truth about Mr. President’s stunted intellect.
