Hey Ichbin

[rbh]

    My intentions were not to have Akus' post removed. I thread crapped and it was my fault anyways. I knew better but let my emotions get the best of me anyways. I am normally pretty good at just ignoring posts like that but for some reason I opened my mouth. I actually came back to have my posts removed so it wouldn't get any more heated but saw the post was gone. I don't want people to think they cannot talk about subjects in fear of ruffling feathers and getting censored. I know I have one forum that has specific rules against any topics involving politics, religion, and other hot button issues just because 99% of the times it gets crazy and out of hand. Emotions run high and really it doesn't make much sense because people are too strong in their beliefs and opinions that they will never change their minds anyways so all the bickering is pointless.

     Anyways, if Aku wants to repost his original post I will leave it be, bite my tongue and move on. As I said, I was in fault anyways and he shouldn't be censored because of my actions. Maybe we can just bicker in PMs or something.

well rbh

We all have heated debates sometimes, Its no biggie. Sorry for the ass comment and I hope we can put it behind us all and get along :up:
As for the original topic, I really did think they were funny quotes, I still would have if they were from Clinton or even my very own president. But since it causes all this ruckus, we are better off without it in the end.

So give me a smile and lets move on --> my smile -->

It was me that wanted it closed. Others agreed with me.

Well said both both of you, lets move on, Tinyportal is a multicultural group and I think we all have one aim, and that is the improvement and  development of one thing Tinyportal! so lets keep it to that or any thing that IS Tinyportal.

And here is mine------->

    It is good that even though discussions get heated things can still be civil. Obviously we are a little above most who once started would never let it die. Thanks for accepting my apology on the matter and I will do my best to keep my emotions in check. They may still pop out once in a while but not to that extent again.

    Agreed Lesmond

    JPDeni, that's cool. I figure Ich put the hammer down since he is the sheriff around here.

lol, you guys crack me up. Actually, yes it was me that removed the topic. After further discussion in the team board about that topic I think we've all came to an unwritten rule that if anything political/religious etc get posted we'll will lock or remove the post for these very reasons. Thanks for response rbh, we appreciate the way you've handled it. Same goes to Aku.
