CENSORSHIP.... lets not unless....
Hey, I was actually enjoying reading the article that you guys just deleted as offense. It had some good points to it. Now I thought the flag as offensive button was meant to be used WISELY and only on those people who are obviously trolls and *directly* talk to someone in particular and foully...
That article was not directed at any one person here, it had good points WITH the bad points but I dont think it should have been deleted...
I also think its time for Ron Paul to step up to the plate and start hitting homers instead of one base hits... he can be nice but *snap* put it to someone when he can.... he should do it more.
Just in my humble opinion of course....
So bang away on the delete buttons.... I have *never* used it once yet.... some people are getting finger cramps... LOL....
Put it back up without the expletives...
Okay, if the profanity is all that was offensive and not the content which expressed displeasure with the campaign, then let the poster REPOST without expletives...
fair enough??
Read posting guidlines You are wrong..
Hello Friends,
I set this board up as a place for Ron Paul supporters to communicate with each other. Anyone can read and post to the board. To post, you must first register:
http://www.dailypaul.com/user/register
Feel free to post your comments, links and anything else you'd like the world to know about here. I ask that you follow these loose guidelines:
1) Even though this is an unofficial site, you are still representing Dr. Paul in the eyes of the public. Please don't write anything that Dr. Paul himself wouldn't say or wouldn't approve of, or that would reflect badly on Dr. Paul or the campaign. Therefore, don't trash other candidates, don't use bad words, etc. Keep your focus on the good and the positive and on hope.
2) ALWAYS spell check and grammar check your work before posting. The new Firefox has a built in spell checker. Misspelled words get a red underline, and if you right click on them, you get some options from a built-in dictionary.
3) Please do not post the text of entire articles on other sites. Feel free to post a short intro, and then a link to the original article. Unfortunately, YouTube videos cannot be embedded in the forum, but feel free to link to them. Just copy and paste the address, and it will turn into a link automatically.
4) I can and will delete inappropriate comments and ban disruptive users. This includes blatant commercials, excessive profanity, personal attacks on other users, multiple identical postings on different threads, EXCESSIVE USE OF CAPITAL LETTERS.
Please be nice and follow Dr. Paul's living example of kindness, respect and humility. Let me know if you have any questions.
I set this up to be an open forum for the honest discussion of ideas and the search for truth. In order for this to work, everyone must play by the rules and respect the community. While I don't want to get into the habit of banning people or deleting posts and / or comments, if you don't respect the community, then you are not welcome here.
Any of the following will be sure to get you banned without warning:
Engaging in flame wars or personal attacks on other members, racist remarks, posting material completely unrelated to the campaign or the presidential race, bumping your own thread to keep it on the front page, posting the same non-related comment on multiple threads to promote your website or event, blatant advertising. If you cannot consistently spell or check your grammar, you may also be banned. Sorry. Posting here is a privilege, not a right.
In the end, anything I decide that reflects poorly on Dr. Paul and/or sullies the good and peaceful name of Ron Paul supporters is not welcome here. At the end of the day, this is my house. I set it up to honor, respect and promote Ron Paul's bid for the Presidency. Play fair and you're welcome to stay. Do not abuse what is offered.
Welcome aboard a magical journey!
Best regards,
Michael Nystrom

Thanks Tim for posting
Getting through to some of these people is like beating your head against a brick wall. They don't realize how some posts can hurt Ron Paul.
That's good TimC
we weren't aware that Mike needed a right hand or someone to speak for him. We've all read the posting guidelines, and we're all adults who are able to read profanity every once in awhile without soiling our selves while we break our wrists clicking the "flag" button.
Isn't there a Jesus for Ron Paul site somewhere on the "holy" side of the internet? Some of us are able to handle a little profanity and porn with our communion, thanks.
Did you read that post?
That post used vulgar sexual language directed at Ron Paul and was very mean spirited. If I spoke about you like that in your presence you would try to break my head open. No one and I mean no one should ever speak about Ron Paul like that.
Your comment about the Jesus for Ron Paul site was also not appreciated and why did you bring that up anyway? Why are you so angry with Ron Paul? Why are you so angry with God?
I am not a Christian but I respect them
So I do not use sexual dialog to demean someone as precious to the USA as Ron Paul.. Sure I think he could do better in the campaign but to resort to filth to get your point across closes access to him for some people.. I will say no more.. I have never flagged a post before EVER..
Did I
miss something good?
G_d bless
Attend a Church of your choice this Saturday.
G_d bless
No Saul, YOU, did not miss anything other than
an opportunity to flag something as offensive.
Put The Post Back Up!!!

I agree. We can handle this and his post did have some good points. I sometimes wonder what the Hell they are waiting on at Ron Paul Headquarters myself and I love Ron Paul!!!
I agree! Put it back up.
I agree! Put it back up. We're adults with open minds.
'Cause there's a monster on the loose
