Vegas Free-for-All - I got kicked out of a political forum

I got kicked out of a political forum

I was banned from the forum because I kept posting threads about Las Vegas. They couldn't understand why I only wanted to talk about Las Vegas when it was clearly a political forum. It seemed like the obvious place for me to share my opinions of Vegas. Sadly the moderator (known as Anthony) refused to let anyone post Vegas topics. At least I can come back to this forum and talk about .....uh...... Vegas anyone?

He tried to ban political topics when Obama ran for election the first time. It was so dead here you would have more fun watching paint dry. He then stated for some reason the majority wants to keep discussing political subjects. He said he doesn't understand it but have at it.

As has been stated before it is a catch 22 and we could discuss all day the old which came first the chicken or the egg but having been around then it was mighty quiet in here when he enforced the ban.

Hmmm, you bring up a good point. I wonder if we have a couple (or more) political board refugees on this board? That would explain a lot.

There needs to be a separate political forum then. That way the partisan hacks can go at it without the rest of us having to read or see their crap.

Ok, I'm confused ?? You can put political crap in a Vegas thread... but you can't put Vegas stuff in a political thread ? WTF ?!?!

The problem is he didn't stop the political talk soon enough and a lot of people left. I think I went from being a daily poster to not even looking at the site for a couple of years. What was annoying to me wasn't the initial political posting but the refusal to stop after Anthony asked for it to stop.

I'm confused too. You were never banned from this forum. Are you talking about a different forum?
