And Will that is why I have ultimate respect for you. You didn't go in complaining, "how dare you put humor in politics. how dare the mods allow such a thread with such thinly veiled attacks. ETC."

You saw the humor wasn't to your taste and said "Gee, I have nothing to post...... next thread."

You didn't go out of your way to try to ruin the fun and you opted to basically ignore it because to you it wasn't funny.

It's like the thread you posted.... to me, it's not funny.

But humor is much like everything else, up to the individual taste. Some people love Brit comedy like Benny Hill, Monty Python and Dave Allen.... others don't get it but love Robin Williams, Bill Engvall, Larry "the Cable Guy", Eddie Murphy, Sam Kinison and a few like the 3 Stooges, Laurel and Hardy, Abbot and Costello and Martin and Lewis . And some find humor in all, like me.

There were some posts I didn't think were funny, some of mine included (seemed funny at the time, but once typed and posted they weren't as funny as I imagined). But everyone that posted something silly took the time to add their own "flavor" to the board and had fun doing so.

I tip my hat to you Will. You have class and respect.

Dismay over a humor thread, expressed over and over again, without showing one thread that was meant in a hurtful manner.

I have dismay over a lot in poltics these days. I just choose not to post in those threads.

Every person that claimed the post was hurtful, had no place in politics and bitched because "they" didn't see humor in it, "they" saw it as hurtful, hateful and aggressive.

I simply asked a question..... I wasn't let down, in fact as I pointed out in that thread, there are some people who just have to post in EVERY SINGLE politic thread.... even if it is to complain about the thread. Which again, noone forced ANYONE to read or participate in.

This thread came to being because I want to know why people just can't let others have fun without playing some superior morality card and trying to make everyone else feel guilty.

Where did I censor or try to censor anyone in this thread or the other thread. My point is simple..... don't like a thread skip it... you do not need to post in every thread, but that was proven to be impossible for some.... they HAVE to post in every thread, and IMHO it is because they feel they own that part of the forum and what they say and do goes. If they don't agree with a post instead of ignoring it, they work hard to try to ruin it, flame, troll and basically make it known to all they do not approve of it.

I asked a simple question and made an opinion. I even added my own personal experience..... what you derived out of it is your own ideas of what I meant.... NOT necessarily what I was saying.

To me, it sounds like you have some guilt and pent up anger and refuse to see what is being truly said..... but that is just my take and may not be at all true.

BTW 873 hits 85 posts in roughly 69 hours..... and the only people that complained were the people who post in every or almost single one (I'll be generous 95%) of the political threads.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
