Hi Lisa, Perceptions, Sandy, Dsmithy -
Glad to see you could make it here.
This proves that we can't be silenced especially at the
time of the election.

Yahoo still hasn't told us why they keep bringing the whole forum down.

As soon as they do - let's all chat here.

I missed it over the 3 day weekend as I had a sore back & couldn't
go out.

Hey Bobby and everyone else .. just letting you guys know that I am not advertising this site in any way, shape or form on Yahoo given the trolling and flaming phenomenon.

The last thing we want is for trolls and flamers stalking us on this site. Correct?

I am however IMing and emailing a few Yahoo Politics mates of ours to check this site out and essentially "cross" over.

Let's hope this site proves to be decent and civilised .. and better moderated. xxx Lisa

You'd have to expect some of the Yahooligans to turn up but who cares.

Gee Wizz - Yahoo moderators are getting furious when we
chat about their message boards being switched off.
My thread entitled:
" When Yahoo Politics is switched off ?"

http://au.messages.yahoo.com/news/politics/807408/

has been deleted & also one other of a similar name
which was started by someone else has been deleted.
The thread was only giving people who wanted to post,
a link to here, if Yahoo was down.
The faceless people at yahoo sensor their threads for reasons
other than abuse or foul language.
No explanation is ever given.

Free people will not be gagged!

yes, free people will not accept being gagged.
Those that value freedom of speech accept criticism against themselves.
