My LBN Tread was moved -- against the DU rules...

[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):

1. Peter, if you have a question or a conflict, contact a mod. nt

[Peter Frank]

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.

6. This is true....

This topic gets minimal coverage.

[Peter Frank]

9. Great Point...

Anyone seen "Loose Change 2"?

(available on limewire)

[Syrinx]

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?

[physioex]

4. Ok...I will check it out...

5. It's old news, for one

Years old. Maybe that was the problem.

[Peter Frank]

8. This was just discovered...

...old facts, only now exposed. Read before you post.

7. now you know why I never bother with that forum

too much of THAT

[Peter Frank]

10. Kinda makes one wonder, doesn't it...

Exactly how free is the DU?

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.

[Neil Lisst]

13. He specifically showed it was within the rules.

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.

[greyl]

14. This thread is "against the rules".

That was my main point.

[Neil Lisst]

15. true, and it will be gone soon enough

[greyl]

16. I think the source was why it wasn't considered to be LBN caliber. nt
