Thanks Vikings. Wow. It's been a day. Normally I'm not on as much during the day (sometimes not at all) and that's why I put the board on approval. I'm keeping it that way for a bit. Then when I change it back, I'm kicking it up a notch with respect to on topic posts.
I will begin by first apologizing to the group for setting a very bad tone in the beginning of this board. I should have known better. I used the excuse that politics is an emotional topic (and it is) and that a bit of fur flying isn't bad (it isn't good either) and so the decorum was set. My bad.
Since I can't read minds, I can't assume the worst about posts. If they look like they might be directed at someone on BK, then it just might get deleted. The only safe post is one that truly sticks to the issue. There are many ways of doing this and I'm not saying we all have to be 100% polite. Speak your mind etc but stick to the issues. A tactful approach is a good idea.
