Well I am reintroducing myself. Why some may ask because I was recommended here by Cerise and i stopped in once in a while but I called another forum my home.

I left that forum on Good terms with the owners but told them I was leaving due to crappy modding. I was a mod there and I modded how the Owners wanted me to mod. The Chief Mod however did things her way and Moved threads without asking anyone, deleted posts of members, deleted threads of members without letting them have their say.

I am all for fair moderation and not attacking anyone in their post I agree. I agree with debating the post not the poster themselves. Though it happens.

I am not for suppressing people points of view. I believe in freedom of speech, expression, and freedom to debate.

I personally had my fill of suppression to last a long time. Cerise gives this place high regards. I trust her and value her opinion and told her I would give it a go.

So I am hoping to make this my new political forum home so to speak.

Welcome back Chris! I think you are going to fit in just great here, we seem to have similar viewpoints on modding for one :)

We can certainly use more good posters! Trying to get this community going without it turning into a flame war zone like too many other political forums.

There is more freedom to be creative here, as you will likely see...A thread is your own animal.

Just do it well, and without pissing others off.

Oh I meant copying and pasting articles lol. Some don't like that. As far as pissing anyone off I won't try to personally though I can't speak for my views :). To me it is in how adult the person is who is reading your view. I myself don't get mad it is a forum lol. Like I said to the members of the other one why become emotionally invested to what is on a screen is stupid.

You may not agree but to act like a child about it is stupid in my eyes.:rolleyes:

On the topic of sharing other articles- I prefer a small snippet in the quote tags and a link to the article. It's not that I have a major issue with people copy/pasting whole articles, but some content owners (and Google) do, so better to stay on the safe side.

As a general rule, using Data from a website to back up opinion, position or argument is not only acceptable, it is recommended. From a personal perspective, I will seldom take a post seriously without it.

I like to make threads that start debates. I read a lot so I post the articles I read. Once in a while I will start a debate on something from what I read in a book but I always try to include the book and chapter and author.
