I saw a PBC that was noted on a post for November 29, 2008..This was this week. I'm afraid that I think it is stretching PBCs a bit when one reads posts that far back as as to "police" the board.
My take on the administration is that you guys are stretched thin as it is. Taking time from today and giving it to posts (had to be several read) that are a week old just seems odd to me.
If someone pushed the notification day before yesterday (I think that is correct) for a post that is a week old....why now?
I understand that the Politics Board has had some turbulent times recently and I can see that we're under the microscope now..but I don't think that we're that bad. I don't know how many times that I've read that "we're going to be paying closer attention" now. A little attention would be fine but putting us on notice that we deserve to be watched closer than others seems unfair to me. Feels to me like you need to put a big red X on our foreheads. Obviously, I'm ****ed and hurt.(anger/being scared usually translates into readl hurt)
As for as (when I was told and what you said, Dinah) talking "POSITIVELY" about politicians....how can that be? Can I not say that I disagree with someone's actions that affect me directly? If I say that the cuts in Medicare, from this administration, is really hurting me, does that count for a PBC?
Methinks that "cracking" down on the Political board will mean that less people will post and it will be absolutely dull as dish water now.
I do not understand Bob's reasoning about all of this "positive" posting. But then, I have never understood Babble..so my investment will once again go down.
I know that the political board was doing fine until recently. One or two incidents doesn't mean that the entire board of posters is going to implode, does it? Can I even refer to the past without getting a PBC?
