Aox is pretty bad about inflaming a topic, but you're no angel either, iplaw.

I guess I don't see the problem. The site owners and moderators have decided that the TulsaNow forum isn't going to be an R-rated, free-for-all, attack zone. That is their right. If you want that stuff, there are no shortages of places on the net to engage in that kind of behavior. And if that's what you're looking for, then you're looking for cheap entertainment similar to pro wrestling or MTV's Jackass -- not to discuss matters regarding Tulsa.

So I don't see the problem if TulsaNow doesn't want to provide a place for bored juvenilles to have online food fights, or for nutjobs to post the same wacked-out conspiracy theories  completely unrelated to Tulsa for the 500th time (complete with free advertising for their propaganda movies). If you want to do that crap, go somewhere else, there are plenty of places to do it.

I just like to buy and use local resources, why would I want to support forums from out of state? [}:)][;)]

I agree. It's their forum and they can run it any way they want to. But I've also seen forums that have gone down in flames because the powers that be got too nit picky. I'm not saying that's what's happening here.

Personally, I like iplaw's suggestion of a free for all category. It wouldn't have to be the political category because there are people who like to (and can) discuss politics without getting nasty. The free for all could still have rules (no porn, racism, etc.) but the rules on personal attacks could be more relaxed. If a disclaimer were posted saying enter at your own risk, no one could complain about being offended there.
