I tried to get into the dungeon thread on the Mormon Underwear, which I could However when I tried to post it said that the thread was closed.

The last couple of posts I believe demonstrate that a line in the sand was crossed which I agree with.

I thank you for closing the post and do believe that the tread should be deleted due to the last comments posted.

I tried to strike up decent conversation on this thread but others seem to post uncivil things that could have been stated in more less offensive language.

I do believe that those that posted those offensive messages should be counseled, put on notice and or restricted for a period of time.

That is my Opinion and I am sticking to it.   Clap

I agree.  Not sure I even want to look at that thread.   I like the way we don't attack each other much these days, but we sure attack each others views and beliefs.   

If the mods want to delete the thread we will leave it up to them.  I have no prob with it. 

It's difficult to protect freedom of speech around this place.  People sure ride the line with precision.  It's a curse to having such smart members and participants.  Like I've always said, you have to be pretty sharp to have found your way here and to educate folks on the next pandemic.   

Thanks for the comment HC,

A

Yes a mod did lock it.  For the most part we had left it alone.  Every once in a while poking our heads in to say Hey try to keep it civil.  But last time I checked on it I didn't like what I saw tried to intervene.  Didn't work very well.

I locked it.

It is rife with name calling. The arguement itself, though not what I particularly would want to see on here, is OK in my view but attacking eachother with banned words puts the thread over the top and into the fire.

What freedom of speech does not cover can be called verbal assault. I know better than anyone here. I'm one of the few who actually served time for it.

I will unlock the thread today and give a couple days for some self-editing if you guys are willing to do that. And if not then I will assume you want it re locked or hidden permanently.

I don't like doing this. But as Albert has said as much many times, this forum is open to minors. It's bad enough they are exposed to some of the harsh realities of life here but certain foul language is not necessary to make our points.

My only complaint about deleting it is: why did we not do it sooner?
