Yahoo has a habit of deleting things, often just because they don't like what is said or simply because they can!

Freediver is very fair and encourages free speech regardless of how controversial. The only forum you can't post what you want on here is the Islam board, but that's because the moderator is deranged.

I am all for free speech, but some at Yahoo do exceed acceptable boundaries!

Hi Everyone,
It's good to see we can still discuss politics & have a chat
even though yahoo is closed again.
It was interesting that the moderator blamed those who
write abuse for the closing of yahoo over weekends.
At least we got some sort of explanation.

Maybe we should copy & paste any threads that we want to comment
on at yahoo & start new threads here?

Thanks, FreeDiver et al, for the remarkably warm welcome!

Over the past week or so, there have been a number of weekend contingency threads on Yahoo that have contained links to here - most of which have been promptly 'disappeared'...

Unfortunately, those threads seem to have attracted a few flappers and flamers, along with those who have a genuine interest in debating political topics...

Oh well, at least some of the FFF have a semblance of a sense of humour...

I'm fairly sure, Bobby, that they both posted on threads linking to here.

Actually, head-swell Android was on one of them this arvo - telling us to get a life and bragging about his new head job...I mean his new job in head office...

No more Canadian tar sands and French feathers for him - apparently, he's going the full boa with his fellow reptilian fossil fools in sunny California...
