Robben Ford Discussion

Dave,

I'd like to suggest that discussion of politics not be part of this message board as a rule.

Speaking for myself, a person with a profound interest in politics, I want this board to continue to be a friendly place where Robben and all things music are discussed. There are plenty of forums on the web where one can express their opinions about politics and this just isn't the place.

Thanks.

Well, its your board and your call.

Personally, I get enough politics almost every waking moment of the day so it would be nice to have this be a politics-free zone. I think its great that there are a lot of thinking individuals here that have opinions about things that are important in our world. But when I'm here, I'm here to talk about Robben and other cool stuff.

I don't think its a huge problem right now either. I just hope it stays that way because I think this is a really great community.

Elizabeth,

You don't need to apologize.

Politics is a real hot button for many people (yes, including me) and its really easy for it to get out of hand. I just want this to continue to be a great place for Robben fans to hang out whether they be liberal or conservative.

Don't take it personally.

Thanks j.

I don't remember who said it (it might have been Germaine Greer) but, "The personal IS political," and I hope that it can remain a great place, a forum for all. I also hope that stating my (or anyone else's) views will never be considered to be an assault to (or on) anyone. I will defend any other member's right to state and express their opinions with just as much vigor.

I really don't want to get into censoring posts or topics that members want to discuss. However, gross generalizations intended to offend and personal attacks will not be tolorated. Please do not post them on this board - they will be removed!

This is not about politics. It's about electronics. How about if you send in your absentee ballot before voting day, or early-vote at a polling place, they give you a "P-Chip." Sort of like the V-Chip, only in the case of the P-Chip, you can put it in your TV and it'll protect you from having to see any more political ads or news reports about the campaigns.
