maybe we should stick to such benign topics as I wonder which color panties Stevie picked this morning, , did Christine eat mango for breakfast,will Lindsey lay down a solo for a Stevie if Dave produced it providing she records something. And had Mick spent all the money we gave him ? Free speech is dead. #T's'Merica |

We're already on life-support here and this might
pull the plug. But if I owned the site or was a moderator I'd probably get tired of it. So what to do? |

The real question is, why can you not discuss politics where there's a designated place for it or better yet a political forum? It seems the real rub for some might be that they can't have political discussions here, on the Ledge. There seems to be no other reason for it other than that they just want to. Besides if you really wish to talk about this stuff with other Ledgies, you can always use private messaging, email, Facebook, texting, faxes, letters (the post office needs the work), etc.

It doesn't matter to me one way or the other, the site is private property. Whoever took anything into other areas specific to Fleetwood Mac or threads with topics other than politics/religion did wrong though. If I ever did that I can't remember doing it and would apologize on it being shown to me. I didn't see whatever did trigger this ban.
I've know a lot of people who 'don't want to know' about both politics and religion. I don't understand that completely, but it's probably a lot easier to become messy through words on a screen and not in person. |

But, ultimately, whatever. The ban on political-religious discussions doesn't bother me one way or another. I'm cool with it, and will respect the rules.

The REAL reason the political threads were shut down is because the moderators on here are all liberul (thank you becca!) and Crooked Hillary was getting an ass kicking!

My sole reason for pulling the plug on politics was that it was starting to get ugly in here- and some of the disagreements led to partisan personal attacks outside the chit chat section. The discourse in here was starting to alienate members as well. I just want our camaraderie to survive the election. We should be here for Fleetwood Mac first and foremost; everything else is secondary. I might consider bringing politics back if I think the board truly has an appetite for it; but this cooling off period is necessary.

Also, though you say some members felt alienated, as a purely anecdotal observation I'd suggest traffic on all the other boards has also slowed over the past couple of weeks. Chit Chat was thriving and I think it brought people out to post elsewhere too. Sorry, it all seems rather 'Big Brother' and unnecessary to me- silly. |

If I have to be honest I tried to stay away consciously from the forum because I come here to relieve myself thinking about music, not to hear the kind of silly, angry and depressive political debates that I can hear constantly at my family table or at the local bar. |
