    Whoah, Fox News is widely known as a joke, just ask Steve Colbert and his ilk, lol. We have a Canadian version of Fox News, it's called the Sun News Network, it is also a huge joke, bordering on conspiracy theories, etc, bunch of loogans as I call them.

        No, thank YOU for another of your most carefully researched, balanced, thought-out, and stimulating posts for us to consider this fine Autumn day. Always a pleasure.

          As long as I've been at KFN the Social/Casual forum has never been about censorship but has always been about mutual respect for other people's views, and their right to express them. Others, of course, have a right not to read or reply.

            GG, agree completely. But, as I said, 'this' instance may be a case of not the "what" but the "how" these personal political agenda campaigns are rolled out/pushed out. Defining the terms I used in that sentance would be challenging. Imo, this is where the adage applies: "You know it when you see it." OTOH, I suppose we could arbitrarily decide to allow anything here, but that would leave us open to walking a fine line between "reasonable, constructive exchange of ideas" and being a "personal political blog site." The more I ramble on here, the more clear it is (to me) that it's the "how" that really counts, not so much any specific "what."

              Within Social/Casual Talk, *almost* anything is allowed as long as it isn't racist, hateful, personally hurtful, pornographic (you get the idea). Whether or not the content is deemed inappropriate and/or is/has become inflammatory, is at the discretion of KFN's Moderators, Super Moderators, or Administrators, either by direct observation or after consideration when notified by another KFN member.

                Does spontaneous combustion count as inflammatory? lol

                  No. That would be considered 'self-censorship'.
