Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kenny Coyote" data-source="post: 216234" data-attributes="member: 102">I said I thought that allowing politics in the Dallas forum instead of keeping in the politics forum was something I suspected would be detrimental to the forum. That's all I can do; I can only make suggestions.  There were other people who also thought it would be negative for the forum as well, but staff just made a joke out of it. It cost them a forum member. Seems detrimental to me.It wouldn't make it any less distasteful. Combine that type of comment with politics though and you're playing with fire.I wouldn't post that type of thing.  When people take things to the level of insulting other people's countries and people's political leaders it tends to have an especially divisive effect. Realize that most people actually take pride in their country and have a certain level of respect for their political leaders. It's something completely outside the scope of what the Dallas forum is about for people to use it as a vehicle to express their disgust for other countries, their political systema, their political leaders etc. I don't see the benefit of allowing that in this forum. What value do you think it contributes? Do you see any, and if so, is it of so much value that it's important to allow it no matter what effect it has on the forum?</blockquote>
