"you are campaigning against me." Incorrect. I am not trying to campaign at all! All I am doing is responding to peoples' comments and attempting to explain why the rules are up for a vote in the first place. I don't personally give a shit which way the vote goes. I *do* care that people feel the need to talk about political figures in such a nasty way that we could get a warning from PB. Fuck that! I get how you feel, because can't freaking stand him and would like to say what I really think too. But there's a place for that..And this ain't it - because of PB's rules. Yup my feeling as well. #traitor!

No, nothing says you can't skewer Trump. However, the rules DO say
18. OBJECTIONABLE CONTENT
You represent and warrant that you shall not use the Website or Services to upload, post, transmit, display, perform or distribute any content, information or materials that: (a) are libelous, defamatory, abusive, or threatening, excessively violent, harassing, obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, or pornographic;
and I get the sense that you would like to push the envelope into dangerous territory. It's not going to be allowed and that is that.

I admit I found Twitler to be funny.
If you have the creativity needed to come up with post #84, you don't need President Trump to skewer Trump. I did, however, change my vote in favor of you or anyone else to be allowed to do so.

What bothers me is when an excellent point is made concerning the lack of fitness for the office but does so with using a derogatory name within the post and supporters then focus only on the use of the derogatory name totally ignoring the excellent point made. I wish people would stop giving them that opportunity.

If this "rule" goes into effect, rest assured I WILL search out every single "crooked Hillary" & other names used for YEARS and report every single one of them. I don't care if it was said 2 years ago, I'll find it & report it. I bet there's at LEAST 500 of those posts between Paul & Shooby alone.
It's ridiculous that all of a sudden this is an issue. And there's NO way to convince me this isn't about one side being all butthurt over what they slung around now being directed right back at them. the idea that now all of a sudden the rules need to be changed to protect the fucking special little trump-troop is bullshit.

It (President Trump) is an issue because Hillary Clinton is no longer around to kick about. Clinton is old news. So it is just Trump and his minions for the time being. Just like it was for Obama the past eight years.
If President Trump was acceptable yesterday, it should be acceptable today and tomorrow too But like the word 'fuck', President Trump loses its power if used too often.

You may report all you wish but I am telling you here and now that we are NOT going to be deleting all the old stuff. It will be effective from the time the results are in and not before.

So the trump-troop insults get to stand, but the rest of us are suddenly having the rules changed on us. they get to do it for YEARS, and then cry & whine and get the rules changed. Yet they call us snowflakes. You really think they won't gloat & crow over that little fact? Have you met the trump-troop leaders here? this is the biggest piece of orange tinted shit I've seen since election day.

steff-those past posts you mention are just that now: in the past. Those posts will be on threads that will eventually be buried under plenty of new threads as Hillary Clinton is old news. What is there to discuss? Little to none. The focus will be on Trump for the time being, a focus a number of posters would like not to happen. There will be plenty of opportunities to put Trump in his place with new words, huge words, to describe him.

Fuck never loses its power. On this. Sigh. Sorry steff and Dj. It sucks to take the high road, but I'd rather it be over now and not have to pass it on either in however length of time it is until someone new is in (can we have a bet thread? I want 16 months....) ... And I do find it distracts from the real debates. And hey, I'm better than them and i know it.. so there is that

I asked this on another thread but perhaps here is a better place. Why is "President Trump" so offensive to some? Is it not President Trump's German immigrant grandfather's name?

when new laws go into effect, they are from that point forward, are they not? they don't go back and round up past offenders. same thing.

It's not going to be allowed and that is that. why do you get that sense? oh! is it because of the (*kwad posts? yeah, well, i had a bit of trouble getting over that, but i am mostly over it. as other posters have put it: i can't guarantee i won't slip in a passionate moment, but deminmaine will tell you how many posts of mine have been deleted in the last two weeks, and i think it is ONE. moon/Laura- i want to ask you of something- how many times did i have a post deleted before this rule came into effect? i play by the rules. i swear. i am f(*king nice. just ask GEL. just ask TM. ask practically anyone. i am GOOD to other posters. they might not like the WAY i say things, but the best people here KNOW that i am not taking them on PERSONALLY. i don't roll that way. so, no. i won't be posting d(*k pics if you drop your guard an inch. i am not President Trump. i just like to mock him.

VERY.....F-ING.....FEW. but for the record, i am quite polite in person. i just prefer to be utterly expressive on the board.

And hey, I'm better than them and i know it.. so there is that dude, i thought I WAS TAKING THE HIGH ROAD when i COMPLIED WITH THE RULES, AND STARTED USING President Trump.
political discussions are supposed to be contentious, dirty, and hilarious. at least that is my opinion.
you want yours sanitized? by all means, vote for the management position. but i will point out AGAIN:
President Trump in NO WAY violates the TAC of this board. how do i know? because i spend half my week reading contracts. and yeah, i read every word of this one many many times. i know what is there. and this is not there.

And now you know, DJ, why I do not vote in these things. I think it's more fair that I don't.
I still fail to understand why you are so bent about this. If the legal names one wins, it will be that, and no other derogatory names allowed.
If the 'legal names plus names in the public domain' (as it is now) wins, derogatory names will still not be allowed.
The only thing that's really being decided is if President Trump will still be allowed. <shrug>

ALL OF YOU "HIGH ROADERS".
half of you have spent (8) years watching Obama be called far more displeasing things than President Trump. did you ONCE ask management to stop it? if you did, then FINE, vote for that crap!
THE REST OF YOU:
come on! really? you want this? you want to bring a knife to a gunfight? that's fine. BRING ONE. but, for God's Sakes, let ME BRING A GUN!!!!
i need SIX of you to cross over. i PROMISE that if you do so, i will be better. i will be nicer. i will say sugar instead of shit.
come ON!
