    Cute, but ...

    In truth, I like both of these guys - I think they're both solid, fundamentally honest men, who want the best for their countries.

    And I think that if they could somehow promote a bond on the public stage, the world would be a better place for it.

    In truth, I posted this without much undestanding of the content, hoping that our USA folks (whose sense of humour and ability to take a joke are appreciated :)) would get the humour in it.

    Hell, I recognize only 2 people in that Cabinet ! [​IMG]

    And did you know that the Klan was originally formed as a type of Neighbourhood Watch group ? Really, and with all good intent.

    Sort of like how the Rolling Stones got the idea of hiring Hell's Angels to keep the peace at Altamont. [​IMG]

    Gadget, we may tolerate your anti-semitic ramblings on here, but it doesn't mean we all agree with them.

    'We may tolerate' - is the 'we' a threat or a timeline ?

    I like how people can speak freely here, and that's why I am here.

    Are you speaking for yourself about the issue of semitics, or for the staff of IB, or are you just trying to enforce your own adolescent thoughts through association with an otherwise honest website such as this ?

    I too am tired of your anti-semitic rants , most of us here know your feelings on the subject so give it a rest . You are not convincing anyone to believe like you .

    ?? ... when I post something, I try for quality and thoughtfulness. If I think it's funny, or beautiful, or sounds interesting, I post it.

    I thought that we all were allowed to do that, so I do it the best I can, and I don't put people down for their thoughts - ideas are a good thing, folks.

    Gadget , I am sorry but I agree with the quorum , anti sematic barbs guised as jokes are wearing thin my friend . But , yes you can do that and as far as I am concerned you are allowed to do that . And I am not putting you down but I think that others would like you to tone it down just a shade . By the way I happen to agree with you on some issues , and you are dead right about freedom of speech .

    I have limited time in which to contribute here by expressing my thoughts, but I also have the freedom to walk.

    Gadget I do not want you walking anywhere . If criticizing is your thing then criticize to your hearts content . If I have offended you I publicly apologise to you . You are a valued member and we want you but perhaps tone the sematic thing down a shade ?

    Freedom of expression - one of the basic tenants of a free society, and of this forum.
    And I believe that all staff members both support this, and allow it, however distasteful on occasion. However, there is such a thing as common decency, or a lack thereof, to be considered.
    Having said that (please note the text colour):

    (12) Keeping it Civil
    • While debating and discussion is fine, we will not tolerate rudeness, insulting posts, racist comments, personal attacks or purposeless inflammatory posts or private messages.

    Not once have I ever done anything like that - this is censorship at its worst, and it is a disservice to myself and to anyone else who felt free to post their thoughts and feelings here in confidence.

    So, are you saying that our rule is in itself censorship, and that you don't like it?

    To quote the great American philosopher, Rodney King:
    People, I just want to say, you know,
    can we all JUST get along? Can we get along?​

    From my observations, the members of this forum appear to represent nearly all of the countries, cultures, political views, and religions on this planet. With all these different views there is only one thing that keeps the forum from becoming a free for all, and that is "Moderation".

    Google defines "moderation" as "the avoidance of excess or extremes, especially in one's behavior or political opinions". ​

    Moderation of this forum is performed by Moderators. They use diplomacy and censorship to keep the forum tone "moderate". Ideally a moderator can set aside any personal bias and apply a set of rules equally to all situations.

    As far as I know there is no place on Earth with true "freedom of expression" or true "free speech". Well, maybe in Antarctica.

    I agree that is was time to "moderate" the anti-Israel posts. It's not a big deal, it's just an attempt to keep the forum discussions "moderate". It's not personal, it's just a forum policy defined within the forum rules.
