So, a couple of days ago, someone reported a political post. No one had touched it for many hours, so I took a look.

And I thought "Yeah, that's political..." But then I saw it connected to the next one, and the next....so, to fix one, I had to fix all.


While checking (through many pages) to make sure I got all the references and follow-ons, the side-boobs came up. At that point, I asked for other Mods to decide.

No, I'm not worked-up (yet) about the UAL-CAL thing. Watching and shaking my cranium. Not tangled in any axles, side-braces, or trunions, and not a bad day, either. And yes, if you knew me well, you'd say I have a pretty good outrageous of humor. BTW: the stick is in my hand, not my..........otherwise, my wife would say there's no room for my cranium...

I can still view APC at work during the rare moments when I have nothing else to do. I'm just trying to keep it within the guidelines I was given, which means (to me): Safe for Work. Trying to make sure I, and others, don't lose that privelege.
I understand what you are trying to do, UAL. It's not my job to question how a man moderates a thread. But, the guy who responded to my connected "dot" said something like....

"Is that how you feel, New K. Really?" or, "Do you really think we would be better, New K? Really?"

.... and he said he got an infraction.

I think another guy who said he got an infraction said....

"I agree 100%!!!" (Im not 100% sure about that one though.)

Come on. It really does remind me of that scene from that movie. Just tell us you had a bad day and threw Kareem, his team, the opposing team, and a few beer vendors, out of the game on Kareem's farewell tour.

We'll forgive ya.

Remember, things outside this thread are typically handled with a bit heavier hand. The other threads aren't the nice bar conversation among friends that this one is. I was visiting my parents until 2100 last night, then spent some needed time with my wife. When ACL, johnso, or myself can't get to things... you may find things handled with a bit heavier hand than the gentle reminder that we are used to in this playground. I've attempted to initiate some discussion in the mod section and perhaps some positive can come from it.

I saw a couple of the political digression posts earlier in the day while I was playing golf with my dad, but I couldn't jump on it and divert it from the highly predictable path that it went down.
In the past, you guys just removed the post and the only result was that we felt sheepish and stupid for wasting our time.

If you guys start passing out infractions without letting us know it's coming, it will chill the water around here.

Well... I would have followed that standard procedure that we are all used to. UAL isn't used to this sandbox was what I was getting at.

Like I said, I've tried to spark some discussion on the mod side of things. I tebow that it will be fruitful.

I hope your Tebow is answered, because Tom Brady is overrated, and we would be better off if the Patriots lose next week. (Good thing he isn't a politician.)

80, you know I love you. And I really didn't post anything political...which was really hard for me. My only point here is that this thread has a life of its own and is largely populated by adults who abide by the rules. We know and like each other. If we're going to be threatened,now, to leave. That's fine. I don't think anyone here will lose anything. APC will be the lesser for it. JMO.

That must be some kind of indestructible Hobbit ring holding her top together.

The water's fine. I've had pics taken down (they weren't over the line IMHO, but that's me), entire posts taken down, infractions without a warning and I'm here to say the system is fine by me. So to me it's still the same. But take that with a grain of salt...for all I know I could be one infraction from a permanent ban.
