So i start a thread about the government healthcare and it gets deleted. is the iap federally funded?

 

[ROOKIETURNER]

no politics.

[ironman]

why does the site not allow religion or politics even when they are in a casual conversation forum

 

[ldb2000]

Simply because it ALWAYS starts a fight or ends in hard feelings between members . We ALL have our beliefs (either politically or religiously) and not everyone here share these same ones .

Read the Terms of Service and the Acceptable Use Policy for the IAP. This is a pen turning site. There are plenty of political discussion forums on the Internet for you to engage in political debate or post political opinions on. Those discussions usually get too heated. People come here to relax and talk about something they all enjoy and share in common. Turning, specifically turning pens :biggrin:.

In the past it has gotten really unpleasant so I am glad that it can't happen. It keeps us all getting along with no bad feelings.

I could not have said it any better. Butch, thank you!

I agree, this is a pen/wood turning site. Politics can be discussed elsewhere.

LOL, ya made me laugh Chris, good one.

I like the rule too! I think it is much easier to get mad at the staff for not letting us talk politics than to get mad at each other over politics!:biggrin::biggrin:

 

[ROOKIETURNER]

Plus, I am right and everyone else is wrong! ;P

 

[Jgrden]

I wouldn't tell your wife that if I were you!:biggrin:

Or said another way,

When I want your opinion, I'll give it to you! :biggrin:
:wink:

The IAP hasn't lost anything of value by banning political or religious discussions.
There are plenty of other places on the 'net where it's permitted and appropriate.
We can all go there to fight it out! :tongue:

If I want to talk politics/religion, I call my ex for the fight
