I twice attempted to post the news of the death of the Baltimore Orioles and MLB great and Hall of Famer, Brooks Robinson. Both times I posted it to General Chat with a keyword of Sports and both times some Mod pulled it saying I posted it to the wrong forum. I think that nickcaraway also had his post pulled. I do not understand why these posts were pulled.

This morning a post was pulled regarding the discovery of Mastadon bones in maybe Indiana. The reason cited for pulling it was "chat". I don't get it. The article was NOT a vanity; it was a published news article. Things like that are interesting and should be allowed. For God sake, they let a letter jumble puzzle be posted every morning. Does FR have a defined criteria as what is allowed and what is not. This kind of thing has happened more than once. Yes, it is Robinson's site and he can do what he wants, but to me this...

In a rare example of political unity, both the Romney and the Obama campaigns have expressed concern to the Commission on Presidential Debates about how the moderator of the Tuesday town hall has publicly described her role, TIME has learned. While an early October memorandum of understanding between the Obama and Romney campaigns and the bipartisan commission sponsoring the debates suggests CNN‘s Candy Crowley would play a limited role in the Tuesday night session, Crowley, who is not a party to that agreement, has done a series of interviews on her network in which she has suggested she will assume...

Do they realize it helps to not GO INSANE if you do this because Obama is such a infiltrator?Or do you have a spouse that is a LIBERAL? Or a spouse that thinks you are wasting time so you tell them 'HEY REGISTERED, CREATED THE SORE LOSERMEN and FR created the Tea Party. Tell the truth no one knows it's you.

I always SEARCH before I post. I search BOTH TITLES if there are two. There are numerous times that a search does not show an article has posted in a thread and it has. Just a FYI for all ya'll mods out there in moderator land that get snarky. MOVING ON and TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT Where's Obama? Golfing?

How are you doing and I wonder what was some of your memorable experiences. Is there anything you would like to say or vent?:) And thank you!

Is there a standard procedure here for having a private conversation with a moderator?

Three members of The Faces reunited on stage when Ronnie Wood and Ian McLagan joined Rod Stewart at his gig at the Hollywood Bowl. Wood, who left the band to join the Rolling Stones, accompanied Stewart on five songs, including the finale of Ooh La La as McLagan played organ. Monday's performance was the first time Stewart and Wood have worked together since an MTV session in 1993. When Wood joined the Stones in 1975 Stewart concentrated on his solo career.

Tony Blair today launched an extraordinary attack on the decline of the traditional family and the rise of "different lifestyles". In a speech which risked a backlash from single parents' groups and Labour MPs, the Prime Minister said the culture of the "Swinging Sixties" was partly to blame for crime and social breakdown. "A society of different lifestyles spawned a group of young people who were brought up without parental discipline, without proper role models and without any sense of responsibility to others," said Mr Blair. "All of this was then multiplied in effect by the economic and social changes...
