We are not a political forum

[Highway Rider]

Should you feel the need to post your political views on here they will be removed. Now if it has something to do with law makers making law about motorcycles that could be a different story but the topic that was removed had nothing to do with motorcycles in any fashion what so ever.

Once again I am being admonished for being excited about history in the making. Maybe I should just keep my thoughts, ideas, and further aid to anyone to myself. Maybe it is better for all involved. I am really growing tired of being treated like a child.

Bravo Highway Rider. I get tired of people trying to cram their political views down everyone's throat. There are forums for that. Political posts should go there.

Well the reason for the removal was that if I did not take that action now it could lead to bashing just because someone else has a different point of view. One thing that you have to remember is that it is just not the users that see this forum. We are open for the whole world to see. Should I start to let everyone state there political views it could be a determent to us as a whole. Yes everyone is entitled to there opinion but say someone would see political posts on here an become offended by what they saw. They may not want to be any part of this. Just because there views different.

I was not directing the warning to any one individual in-particular. I mentioned no names. It was made to all users You decided to post a reply there for letting everyone know that you were involved in the post. If you feel that you are being treated as a child that is total up to you, on how you fell. But as an adult why you haven't just chalked it up to a learning experience, and by posting the topic you also brought it to the attention of others that this would not be tolerated. It would have made no difference on who did the posting of the topic it would have ended with the same results.

Just create a off topic forum

With all due respect, there are message boards/forums available for nearly every subject one might think of and this forum is specific to Motorcycling and like activities. I sympathize with the individual whom this post was initiated because and pray for him but I have to agree with Highway Rider as part of his rule with the AVA Forum is to enforce the rules and policies which were established prior to any posting in question.
