I have 2 or 3 locks on posts. Why? They are not offensive.

Most likely due to Members attacking each other , calling names etc..

There is a set of Rules just for that forum some should read them..

And well you keep posting about them being locked in several threads which I have noticed are gone..

The rules are there they don't have to explain why they do anything..

If ones can not post in a Civil matter they will lock them down and at times suspend members from the forums..

Hi fella with all the numbers as your user name, :wave:

I actually had a look and yes, you are probably not addressing me, but in your original post of the thread you were derogatory and most people would consider your abbreviated "POS" as offensive. The other thread of yours that was also locked did come across as a micro-aggressive threat. If you want people to engage in the discussion then perhaps look at how to write in a way that allows that.

Good luck! :star2:

So you're saying that the statement of " If you don't abide by or support our Constution you shouldn't be aloud in our government " is a threat. And no the pos was to the person who always bullies with fake or twisted information. And yes he does realize the info isn't true or extremely bias he just does it to bully or get a rise out of the person he is trying to intimidate

Sure, I understand your point of view. However, it's a public forum and even if you are addressing a specific person, (the bully you are referring to - whoever they are) doesn't need the whole slur. It reads as both rude and juvenile.
I can't explain the other aspect, if you are unaware of the micro-aggressive nature of your text all I can say is repeat what I've already stated (i.e. about researching how to engage in a discussion). There are many threads where people really get into the nitty gritty of the topic without being rude, aggressive or passive aggressive.

According to the definition of micro aggression another word for it is subtle-prejudice by that definition anyone who is in disagreement can be called a micro aggressive person. I'm not saying that this applies to the subject of this conversation but it does apply to every debate in politics. Now you see I'm not trying to be smart and by me questioning to get a better understanding of this " new concept of micro aggression " I could be considered micro aggressive. I thank you for taking the time to explain this to me and now that I understand this I will apply it to the best of my knowledge. You have a great day.

It seems to me that most of your topics are highly polarizing, which leads people on both sides of the topic to resort to nasty things like name calling and repetitive arguments that go nowhere. Therefore they get locked.

In today's America anything political is polarizing. No I did say some things that could be considered not oppropriate but on the same page I've had people say unappreciate things to me. I just shrug it off or say something smart back most of the time but I'm not one to complain to administration about it. It's America you have a right to your opinion whether it hurts my feelings or not. Oh well move on

I guess we'll have to just try extra hard to behave ourselves. FWIW, I'm sorry if any of my posts contributed to your threads getting locked.

" I did say some things that could be considered not oppropriate but on the same page I've had people say unappreciate things to me"

and there's your reason for posts being locked I'd say.

There are many topics needed to be deleted and it is not in Politics .
Terrible words and insulting people for months on here.
