I'm not trying to convert anybody to anything.

I just believe that politics and sexuality don't mix very well on the same board.

Both need to be discussed independently. In addition, if a forum is to discuss politics in particular, same rules should be applied to all participants indiferent of their views.

You cannot allow phrases like "stupid liberals" and "baby killers" and ban people for responding in kind.

Also, you cannot allow individuals like "J" to post when you state a rule that names should be "real".

Doing so, questions the intent of all the rules you have.

Allowing for such, tilts the forum in a particular way. Yes it is Paula's forum, but the manner in which it has been run lately makes it a forum who's purpose is to confirm Paula's views in a subtle, indirect manner.
