I guess I don't understand the rules of this forum...

I posted a thread about Barack Obama being a dictator. My thread got deleted and I quote this from a private message I received:



Why are there negative threads about Rick Santorum on this forum?

Why is LPSG biased?

If people can have negative opinion threads about Rick Santorum I should have the right to my negative opinion about Barack Obama.

You're absolutely right. And, absolutely wrong. It's about the spin.

The negative thread about Santorum was neutral...the title and original post were little more than a reporting of facts...this encouraged discussion, etc. Most of the replies were negative, but that's not the fault of the original poster.

Your thread was simply "Obama is a dictator, here's why," and consequently violated that particular element of the TOS.

As for the general slant towards liberalism, that would be the demographic makeup of the users of this board. Liberal, by what would appear to be a very wide margin.

is that wide margin... also long?

No, but some of their arguments can be.

I'm one of the other conservatives on this forum. And, I refuse to be silenced...but I do try to keep it dignified, and civil.

You're still a relatively new user (though you actually joined before me), and I promise that you'll get the hang of it.

Your thread might have been better received, had it been titled "New laws expand power of executive branch - is Obama establishing himself as a dictator?"
