Can any of you truthfully say any of those poofed topics are related to tractors?
This is a private website, and the owner of the site has final say on what is and is not allowable on the site. If he doesn't like the pith, vitriol, and bad blood that's garnered by these types of topics, it's his perogative to remove them.
You guys really should be 100% in support of this. Crying about censorship is a "pinko lefty communist" attitude. Support a good American's right to use his private property as he sees fit!
Great post! I used to be a moderator on a petroliana collectibles (old gas station signs, pumps globes) forum. The owner of the sight had some pretty strict rules. NO political posts whatsoever. No profanity. No personal attacks. Some members would complain about censorship and their right to free speech. What they overlooked is they agreed to abide by the user agreement in order to have posting privileges, and the user agreement prohibited certain things. Also, some people don't realize their freedom of speech has limits. You can't say things that infringe on other peoples rights (slander).

There are plenty of places to discuss politics. I come to this site for tractor/tool/truck/trailer info.

I had just talked my Dad into buying an old John Deere B with 6-speeds ahead and I was real proud of it, except it was a little smaller than the Case tractor that we normally
