I am sorry to be so compeled to even write this brief comment. (without profanity)

Ok. That's nice. I'm sorry that some of us are irritated by others' obvious ignorance to the fact that we just asked them civilly and politely to keep this thread on topic and away from politics. Don't believe me? Go back through the thread and find the first time I posted something about people starting a political flame war. Was my last post profane and rude? Yes. I feel it was needed to emphasize my feelings towards a particular post that should have stopped before it even started. If you're offended and don't come on the message board "because of people like" me, so be it. Sometimes you need to offend one person to prevent a thread from going off on a tangent and angering many people.

I honestly don't care how you feel about me. How does that sound?
In all reality, you stepped out of line way earlier than I did. Starting a political flame war with another member in a thread and section that has nothing to do with politics is by far more rude than anything I said. You obviously didn't read the first post I placed here about this, and maybe you should go back in read it. You being ignorant of the fact that you're offending people does not excuse you to do whatever the hell you want.
And what if I am a "liberal"? So what? Is this the politics section? Are we discussing anything about politics or are you just using "liberal" as a derogatory term to criticize and belittle people? You can feel however you want about me and you can be all "butthurt" that I called you out on your little mud-slinging fiasco, but you can't change the fact that you began this. Be an adult and deal with it then. Apparently my first post wasn't offensive enough to you for you to pay attention, so my second had to be. Go ahead and be "hurt" by it. Think of me as a lesser person. I really don't care at all. I care way more about keeping offensive and divisive politics in its place for the sake of the community than how you feel. Write that down in your "book".

But, this board is not moderated so heavily.
And I must say, I had to get used to the loose moderation here. But over time, I am actually happier here than the board I moderate! Why?
Because, as Rush Limbaugh says,
"The human spirit yearns more for freedom more than for anything else."
I believe THAT is where all the references to "
acting like a liberal" are coming from, you seem to think it is your place to speak for the mods. It isn't.
Is this "spaceport 4.0" a Crossfire forum? If not, than no. I'm on here for a reason, to discuss the Crossfire and Crossfire-related subjects, not to argue about politics. This is why I stay out of the politics section; I prefer not to get in an internet fist fight with someone who I know is going to be just as stubborn as anyone else on this planet when it comes to poltical/social views. This is why politics needs to stay in the politics section.
I also enjoy the loose moderation on this forum, but some boundaries should not be crossed, ESPECIALLY when another forum member (one that is not included in the "conversation" in question) asks you politely to keep a certain divisive and easily offensive topic out of the discussion.
And no, that's not how liberal was being used here. You can refer to my comment in response to blackcrossfire07 above. Is it my place to speak for anyone besides myself? No. Was I speaking for anyone besides myself? No. Don't belittle me. I'm as much a member of this community than anyone else, including you. You're not a moderator here either, but I would not bring that fact up if you had a problem with what another member was saying. It is your right to confront them. If you want to talk about freedom, there is it.
