My LBN Tread was moved -- against the DU rules...
Edited on Wed Mar-22-06 03:35 AM by Peter Frank
LBN rule #7:

7. Discussion of Israeli/Palestinian issues is not permitted in the Latest Breaking News forum, and instead must be posted in the Israeli/Palestinian Affairs forum. If, however, the news item is primarily about U.S. policy in Israeli/Palestinian affairs, you may post it in the Latest Breaking News forum.

Here's the LBN thread that got moved (it describes how Bush said he was led by God to invade the Mideast):

2. I have already contacted the LBN mod & got no response...

This is breaking news about GW's evangelical decisions. The thread fulfills the prerequisites of LBN.

I posted here because I received nothing from the LBN moderator.

3. I don't get it either Peter
It's the same with with 9/11 topics. I don't know if I/P threads can be nominated for Greatest, but 9/11 ones can't. I just don't understand the logic. The biggest crime in history and discussion is, if not "verboten," practically so.

12. I watched it with some friends a few weeks ago
My jaw is still on the floor. I've got some guys coming in next week to help me pick it up.

Was it a sequel or an expansion? In other words, do I need to see the first one, if I've seen part two?

11. Do you value the DU rules?
If so, feel guilty for breaking them.
Contact the mods with your dispute.

btw, who is your friend at MSNBC? You never answered me.

13. He specifically showed it was within the rules.
Edited on Wed Mar-22-06 04:21 AM by Neil Lisst
It was quite clearly in there.

He is objecting to what some might call arbitrary and capricious administration of the rules for that forum, feeding God only knows what ego need.

Me, I don't bother with it because I found too much of that there, too. My advice? Avoid it. If it's Late Breaking News, it WILL be on posted early and discussed on the big boards.

Just ignore that board and avoid it.

14. This thread is "against the rules".
That was my main point.
