Deletion Of Thread

I am a strong supporter of free speech.  I am generally against political correctness.

I believe on this forum there is a limit on what is appropriate to post, and what should not be allowed.  To me the following should not be permitted: sexually explicit material, and nothing of a hateful nature should be allowed.  This includes hateful speech based on race, age, sexual orientation, or national origin (unless you are writing about Wayne)

On this forum, we should generally be having fun.  This forum for the majority of us does not deal with our careers, but about our hobby, club  and friends.  We should be serious about the technical details about our cars, and club activities.  In the OT areas let us talk about everything else.  We can discuss and debate, Obama, McCain, and Hillary (if she wins, I want to be her White House intern), we can talk about the good and bad of being PC, we can discuss other parts of our lives, and we can just joke around.  Discussion can get heated, and that is fine.  We all have our opinions and should be allowed to share them, as long as they are not hateful or at the expense of another club member.

Posts that cast the character of our club in a negative light should not be permitted.  This does not mean that we can not criticize our leadership, but when we post here, we are posting as a representative of our club.  If your post would lead one who is not involved with our club to think that our club condones a certain generally unacceptable behavior, or casts doubt on the moral and ethical core of our club, then the post should be deleted.

The reasons why I participate here are:

1. It is fun

2 I like the people on this forum

3. If I can help someone with the little knowledge that I have, the club benefits

4. I learn things here

This forum is still in its infancy.  We are all still learning, and mistakes will be made.  Thank you to Brian for making this forum.
