Hello Brother jamesfrmphilly!
I started this thread in your honor ...sorta ...
Is it wrong to mention that black people owned slaves?
I just wanted to get out of the other thread's way and talk about your concerns.
There are probably several threads here on this topic already.
I see no reason not to talk about it. I'm for us talking about any and everything.
I can also understand how one might not want it mentioned ...
Anywho ... to speak to your concerns in the other thread ...
Generally it is not ... but the Columnists Forums are different. You can disagree there but stick and move. Don't repeatedly post negative images regarding the subject, basically spamming the discussion with your strong counter point of view ... don't do that ... stick and move. And even that, should be done respectfully ... I'm just saying ... because all things should be done respectfully in my opinion ... without a rule being required to prompt it.
It is not one of our 13 posted rules. It has not risen to that level, where it actually needs to be a rule. It is in my heart and our history. I deal with it on a case by case basis, and if it ever grows to be as big a problem as the original 13, we will have 14.
If you are respectful to those that share here, the opinion they present ... you won't probably ever have a problem with our rules. Respect will cover them all, and you know that requirement exists.
It is a great way to minimize conflict ... minimize contact ...
If you have more questions please ask.
Much Love and Peace.

i did not consider disagreeing to be disrespectful.

i also did not know of special consideration for columnists.

hard to play by rules that you don't know exist.

i will now place this person on my ignore list and that should solve the problem.
