This complaining is nothing new. I have been dealing with it for 3 and a half years as head moderator.

What you need to understand is I do not read these threads (I have no time to begin with) but when I get complaints I have to look into them. I didn't think the thread was that bad just childish but then I received some complaints about it I had to act or listen to how anti semitic I am (totaly untrue). All I try to do is deal with unhappy posters who feel they have been racially slurred, what you call the politicians is less important unless someone gets seriously racist. They are fair targets as public figuresm again sabe for racism.
This forum is strictly here as a convienence for posters who gamble and also have an interest in politics but natrually it has attracted a group of self styled political pundits who cannot hold their own at the real politics forums so they come here to amateur land and act like they have a clue. I rue the day we created the forum.
I have a lot of respect for posters like Barman, Pat Patriot, D2bets, Coldweather, Cussin it, Darryl Parsons, 5teamparlay, Festering Zit, 3Peet and several others who as far as I can tell gamble and happen to like politics..
The problem is I feel obligated to make sure this site is not labeled racist so at times I will take some action when racism is reported.
99% of the threads here in this forum are never edited, and even less deleted.
I try to keep my own personal political beliefs (yes I'm a liberal) out of any decisions when it comes to moderating the site. Of course I am forever being called biased because of personal beliefs. The truth is when a racist remark is made I don't care what side the poster is on.
To be honest I am going to take the advice of some of you and ignore this forum as much as possible. The results are not worth the effort involved.
Try to act like gentlemen if that is possible or at least civil toward each other. This forum is much higher maintenance than any other on the site and brings in zero revenue. I wonder why I even bother when an issue like this is such a big deal. The post was anti semetic and childish period.
We could use the bandwith the way things are going. Food for thought.
Thank you, wilheim
how was that post anti semetic
childish maybe but eh i try to have some fun
if i said NY fed african american is new treasury secretary would that be racist!!!???
i was just pointing out the fact that obama wasn't change and we are taking the same course as usual with a jewish insider type guy being in control of a key position in finances of the US......
this is a fact!!! there is no racism involved in what i said
people are jews and this particular guy in question is a jew
the people that are offended are making it racist themselves
the sensitivity of people these days is astounding
no wonder this country going down the tubes we all a bunch of pussies
anyway i've said my peace
sorry for the distraction will i understand its the response you got from posters than anything
and thx for all the work you do
i will never use the word jew again on this forum
Daryl, the problem is my email inbox. I can't just ignore complaints.
On the other hand you guys should be able to handle an edit or a deletion without getting all misty once in a while, this is a politics forum on a gambling website, not exactly Meet The Press.
While I was dealing with how horrible this website is I also had to deal with Most users ever online was 8,667, 11-23-2008 at 12:56 PM.

LOL, are you kidding me? The RNC was a fuckin klan rally. Since when did one have to be so angry when chanting "U.S.A."? If they could they'd passionately chant another three letter acronym.
Malia Obama speaks with more articulation in 10 minutes than Bush and Palin combined.
The Convention in Minneapols looked like a damn KKK rally
There was not one single person who didn't have white skin and
the crowd looked like a scene from the "Nite of the Living Dead "
well the religion connects the race dave
but your right some people convert to judaism....and have no ties to israel as far as heritage goes....
like in adam sandler's song he said rod carew is a converted jew
many jewish americans consider themselves jews but aren't religious at all and very liberal
see hollywood
like they might go through a jewish wedding ceremony and that sort of thing kinda like people westerners that were raised christian that aren't religious that go through a christian ceremony
damnit dave you got me to use the word i said i wouldn't use again oops :missingte
