Seriously, what gives? That was a GREAT conversation!

Political forum = free speech.... I thought.



There was NOTHING racist, sexist, homophobic, or anything. There was no real reason to delete it, accept for possibly one staff member's political skew? Turning into AbsoluteFoxNews, apparently.

Hopefully that was a joke?

It was probably deleted because it was a pointless topic to talk about. The president immediately apologized to the Special Olympics for the comment he made and that was that.

I've always viewed the Politics forum as a place to debate relevant topics such as foreign policy, legalizing marijuana, the economy, etc.

The Special Olympics slip up would have been a good discussion inside the General Politics thread but not as a separate thread itself.

Just my meager two cents.
