OK guys and gals,
We've had one "informal post that got deleted for violating forum rules and two posts that were reported "formally" for violating forum rules.... Way back on the first page (post #9) I asked that we keep politics out of the posts... Unfortunately, as important as the rising price of fuel is to RVing, if people are going to be offended by political statements and if they report them as violations of the forum rules (which they are) then we really have no recourse but to close down the thread....
I'm hoping that if it should start again, that we can keep "everything political" out of the comments. If we do, there's a lot of wealth in discussing the price of fuel and how it affects us as we tow our rigs... What we simply can't do, is cross that line and get into the "politics of fuel prices"....
I think we all know how many people have "raw feelings" on both sides of the political arena. There's simply no way to discuss anything political without pissing somebody off or enticing someone to address a simple comment that may not even seem political to someone but is a "glaring insult" to someone else.....
If we all take a moment to think about how others "hear our printed words" rather than "how we can say something and those "in the know" will understand the other meaning".......
This forum just isn't going to get "down in the weeds" even though we all, me included, at times have very strong feelings about what's going on in politics... We just can't keep it civil on an RV forum that caters to both sides of politics, so best we close this one and hopefully next time just steer clear of the volatile subject areas......
Thread closed, unfortunately.....
