I will not get into a debate regarding this. Let me just explain that while we considered deleting the whole thread, we did not think it was fair to those posting in reply to the OP. I deleted ony those posts that had any form of political, or instigation a political discussion, or at least that was the intent, not censoring, which by the way all forums will do if things get posted that are not allowed.
Yes, there is no "political" discussions allowed on this forum. Some like to push the envelope and see how far they can go, and those posts will be deleted.
There is a "general" section here if you are tired of talking about your cars. You are free to discuss anything you want, as long as it does not turn into a political discussion. If it does, it will be deleted.
