It has become obvious that politics are too flamable a topic for the various members of this forum to discuss without requiring moderation. Allowing discussions to continue the way they have in the past has lead to nothing more than everyone insulting each other for absolutely no reason.
Politics comes down to a person's PERSONAL OPINION. No one has the right to tell another person that their opinion is wrong just because they don't like it. That is why it is an opinion.
From the Wikipedia, an opinion is a person's
ideas and thoughts towards something. It is an
assessment,
judgment or
evaluation of something. An
opinion is not a
fact, because opinions are either not
falsifiable, or the
opinion has not been proven or verified. If it later
becomes proven or verified, it is no longer an
opinion, but a fact.
Accordingly, all information on the web, from a surfer's perspective, is better described as opinion rather than fact.
Posts regarding a person's political opinion will be allowed if and only if no one resorts to personal attacks. It is okay to complain about the current administration (hell I do that every day), that is a truly an American ideal, or the various candidates, but keep the personal attacks out of it. If you don't like someone's opinion, respect them for it but keep the discussion civil.
From now on, posts that use insults of any sort regarding a poster's opinion,
will be looked upon as an insult to the poster him/herself. This interpretation of "insult" can include persons' beliefs, state of residence, party affiliation, etc. You all should be bright enough to know what we mean. Insults have no place in a resonable discussion and will be viewed as a violation of site rules.
Besides, there is no reason for such a heated political thread on a Titan Truck forum. We are here to discuss the many merits of our favorite truck not who can run or ruin the country better.
