The bannings and suspensions here are highly subjective and nowadays almost always involve folks critical of Bush or the RINOs.,,,although folks are no longer banned just for saying Minutemen admittedly but you guys are sure editorializing the stew out of those Sidebar titles.

To be fair, I think wardaddy has a point. I've always used the same criteria in flagging articles when I posted them, but just the past month or so, one of the mods has brought it to my attention that I was doing it incorrectly- and apparently I had been doing it for years. Also, I never knew that FR apparently regards WorldNetDaily and Newsmax articles as 'chat' or something- never to posted under 'Breaking', even if there's new info that the lib media has left out of their spoonfed pap.

It was a polite exchange all the way with the Mod, and I conformed to the forum rules once I knew about them- but why the change now? Perhaps because articles clearly in favor of border control are regarded as less favorable? One can only wonder.

As a side issue, those posting rules need to be put on a permanent page, not some thread from 6 months ago that I never saw before.

Much of the time these publications are wrong. they never retract, or even correct their stuff, so it is really just opinion.

WND started out pretty good, but has since deteriorated as a good newsworthy organization, IMO.
