I think one of the main reasons it was created was to prevent the ratings misuse that was going on in the old board, where likeminded people would continuously rate their friends comments positively and rate the opposing viewpoint negatively.

Also I don't think anyone else posts the types of images that you seem to dig up.

Latitude is one thing, but, to be perfectly honest with you, I found the posted images offensive and if that is how you feel that political comments should be conducted then there really is no hope for civilised discourse.
Also FYI the post was reported elsewhere, before you start shouting about mod bias.

You know as well as anyone how much we allow in the member areas, but there is still a line and you not only crossed it, you burnt it and danced all over it's glowing embers.

Hello again,

By the power vested in me for whatever reason, I hereby close this thread...

We shall continue elsewhere..
