Hizbullah's attacks stem from Israeli incursions into Lebanon

[Logan13]

it was closed for the reason this one is close to as well, all the stupid childish crap wont stop...this is a steroid forum, not a religious, political, news forum...i imagine if it moved to the lounge that would be next to get closed....all i am asking is keep the arguments non-personal...then we can keep this open and everyone a little happier...

My 2 cents:
With everything going on in the world today, it is nice to have a political/religious forum. But we must realize that with everything going on in the world today, there will be strong opinions on all current events. You can do one of three things:
1) babysit the forum and its member's posting, which is by no means an easy task (and definitely a full time job).
2) Let the political/religious forum run w/o moderator presence. Even when a mod steps in a bans a member, they still come back and continue to create turmoil. This fixes nothing.
3) Keep the "In the News" forum around and state that postings with political/religious topics are grounds for immediate banning. Someone posts anything with a religious/political theme, then they are gone with IP blocked.

This forum has drawn alot of radical personalities into it over the past year. This is afterall still an anabolic website, and these members add nothing to the main theme of it. They come here to stir the pot and spread their propaganda, and then obviously the core members here reply to them. It is a never-ending battle, perhaps you should just take away their propaganda soundboard and go with option #3........

Well I did 1 for quite some time and I would keep on doing it here. 2 and 3 are bad options. Only a few people have ever come back after a ban and they gave up sooner or later.

Well -- I guess I am guilty of being one of these personalities. But I don't think that any of these people came here specifically for the prw forum.

You've been here for less than a year -- so you might not realize this, but I've only been posting in this forum for 9 months. I used to contribute all over the place here -- it's just that my life has completely changed over the past 9 months. I'm still concerned with fitness, but it's certainly not the main priority in my life any more.

I've struggled with whether I should spend my time here or not anymore, but I decided to stay because there are things being said that are against what I believe is the truth. Books is gone -- Max doesn't post anymore -- and there are a lot of people that read these posts and I've been compelled to stay because I want to stand up for the truth. I've been commanded to.

I have actually been a member since Feb. 2005 = 1-1/2 years. It was not you who I was speaking of anyway alpha as I do not see you as a radical member that stirs the pot.
