Why wasn't this article just moved to chat....why pull it?

What is the difference in this article and the discussion of it as opposed to the 1000 post threads concerning Laci Peterson and everyone hanging the husband day in and day out?

Flame away.....

Well, I guess I better post here while I can, this seems like it's newsworthy, I don't see any reason why it should have been pulled.

Really, I would think there would be a substantial number of people who would like to comment that the lawyer got what he deserved or that the world was a better place because of it.

I've been here for a long time, and I don't even know what moving it to chat means. I hit latest articles, and this was there. I hit latest posts, and this was there. Why should I care if it is officially classified as chat or not?

If you stufed the lawyers' clients in a large industrial-sized dumpster you'd create a better world much faster.

The man is innocent. An elderly man driven transiently insane by the corrupt lawyer industry: Enticed by the non-stop ads promising huge amounts of money. Then treated shabbily by arrogant lawyers, in $3000 suits. His mind snapped in a temporary psychosis.

When a Zot is banned, all his posts and thread are automatically deleted. If you are on a thread that's legit, let us know, we can restore it.

When you hit "Latest Articles" what you get is the latest articles posted to the News/Activism forum, not the latest articles posted to FR as a whole. The "chat" section referred to is officially titled the "General Interest" forum. When you go to Latest Articles, the list of forums will be in the upper right corner of the page. From there you can get to all the other articles posted, by clicking each forum name individually.

This is one of the reasons I never donate money to this board. I'm not going to put my money into something that can be taken away just because someone doesn't like my opinion.

I'd like to know too. I've had some of my posts sent to "Chat", but I don't know what the heck it is. I'm not complaining mind you, I'd just like to know what it is.

For that matter, there's a lot I don't understand here as far as how the forums are laid out and what crosses over to what. The only thing I do when I come here is click on "Latest Posts". Maybe I'm missing out on other parts of the site. I don't know. And I've yet to find a Help page that explains it all.

Really? That sucks. I like the old way better. I don't have time to mess around. I log on, check out what's going on, and then leave.
