I see no problem having some o/t threads about whatever you want to chat or post about at the time, BUTT have it named in the title. I think most do that already. If it says, asking for prayers, etc, the ones without faith know to avoid. KT's post was labeled as a warning to those that might go in and look. If you choose to keep on going and read the post, that is your choice! I did not find anything offensive in the Duggar post, unless I missed something. It was not anything personal against anyone on this forum or any particular religion,just a family that have hid behind religion to make themselves look good. Just my humble opinion.

That still doesn't make it a good idea to post the whole Duggar thing. It wasn't necessary or helpful. (And I barely even know who those people are - I care nothing about them. This is on general principle.) I believe in cutting slack to everyone but also keeping things within reasonable limits. The problem to me isn't the locking of the thread - which I have already stated I agree with - but the lack of communication as to why and the failure to act on other obviously political and inappropriate threads. Communication is key here. But please lets not make this a major issue. It really isn't unless the members want to make it one. And what then? Do we want to tear this all apart? I don't. I urge us all to relax and breathe and be understanding with each other. And cutting slack also includes cutting the moderators slack who are human after all.

What conservative groups in the US provide the most funding for cancer research?
Even in forums, one has to be mindful of not biting the hand that is paying for
the search for a cure.
Follow the money.
So long and thanks for the fish.
