Re: posting guidelines
Re: posting guidlines ( here )
That was suggested to me here (aka http://forum.dvdtalk.com/religion-po...l#post11816457 ) to be discussed, here, in this Forum section ...
So I read that stickly post / posting gudelines ... and see there:
First of all, it seems like, that particular point / rule is "not a hard rule" as indicated above, in posting guidelines
and secondly, what's, really, the difference if one posts in Original Post (in thread's 1st post) for example:
--------
Check this out ... looks like another potential "Obama's son"? :
"blah blah blah"
Source: link provided
instead of simply posting, for example:
"blah blah blah"
Source: link provided
and then, say in the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th thread's post, posting, again, for example:
looks like another potential "Obama's son"?
--------------
I would assume sometimes simply posting information in the 1st post of the thread and then discuss it in other posts of the thread should be OK ... rather than, say, simply adding to the 1st post of the thread something as small as "check it out guys, .. blah blah" (for example)
That's why those rules are NOT "hard rules" possibly?
Thanks

You don't agree?

While they are not hard rules the following recommendations are also made to help foster a more cooperative environment:
[...]
- Similarly though just posting an article and link, particularly as the first post in a thread, w/o any additional commentary to continue the dialog is discouraged. If it's good enough to post it's worth commenting on as well.

Re: posting guidelines
BTW,
That thread, mentioned above ( http://forum.dvdtalk.com/religion-po...d-bad-day.html ) is now closed by another moderator (reason for closing: " [...] since no good discussion is coming out of this. ")
... So just to reply to that post:
Well .. I was sleeping ... LOL ... give me a chance to wake up, maybe, and add something else to the discussion, or to reply to other posts .. such posts as:
and:
Well...
1) I have NO agenda ... It's not my fault this happened ... and, again, down in Florida. ... So I thought I'd mention it.
2) Far from "every time a black peson kills a white person" ... (there is bunch of stuff like that is happening, every day even ... and I posted just one such case)
3) However if a white person kills a black person, it's often OK for us to open such threads or make a "country-wide" discussion out of it, ... often without even getting all the facts first or all the facts straight?
4) But thanks for pinpointing those points to me people ... Maybe moderator is correct about this anyhow (re: "no good discussion is going to come out of this") ... Maybe I'll just abstain from opening similar threads in the future, if others seem to mind it that much.
Thanks for your time.

Jesus, man. Can we cut this crap out? You have an obvious agenda here from this and other posts. This isn't the way to get your point across and gives the appearance of the same claim of "race baiting" you seem to be making. It hurts your cause.
Are we going to get this kind of idiotic thread every time a black person kills a white person?

would seem to belie that.

Re: posting guidelines
I hear you ....
Not sure if it's my agenda however ...
English is my 2nd language ... so maybe I am misinterpreting that word...
All I am saying ... any of those guys (the thug or the victim) could have been Obama's sons as well ... but we are not hearing about it ...
neither directly from Obama nor from Al, Jesse, Ben etc ...
Point taken though ...
TM / GZ open thread is, more likely, quite enough to "bring all this BS right up to surface".
p.s. Good Russian expression, however, comes to mind: "chit doesn't drown" .....
