I deleted it because it was a rant about someone's gender identity being a disqualifier for a government position. If anyone has an axe to grind, fine, but it's not going to stand around here if it's originating from a point of bigotry.

Long over due, doesn't fit on a audio forum.

Your opinion only (which I know is shared by others), could easily have been controlled for discussion and opinion without much ado, but whatever.........:rolleyes:

Maybe it is his opinion, but a forum moderator has the authority to enforce it, we all agreed to that when we joined

Ok fine but take a look at the first sentence in the 'Steam Vent' description / title and tell me what's your interpretation ?

But anything bordering on sensitive issues that could fall under the broader designation of hate speech are not protected. That is up to the administrators of this forum to decide what is allowed.
While that thread had not gone off the rails, you did effectively put forth a comment specifically denigrating a human being about their identity choice and suggest that it might influence their ability to perform a job.

I posted a pic of RuPaul, only to get laughs not to hurt anyone's gender identity. I believe RuPaul could care less what the Media or anyone thinks about him. To each their own I say.

Mods can delete what ever they choose. Personally I feel the Mods are pretty lenient on this site but they do have their limits.

I agree, Rep. It's why I hang out here. We get to chat, we get to have fun, and nobody really shuts down side conversations or threads unless something really goes sideways.
Ya, there are always a few people that are only capable of rage-posting, which is a shame. But most of us, even from different walks and viewpoints, get along pretty well, and it's nice.

'anything bordering on sensitive issues' ??? Ryan, come on, you can do better than that !

So in essence we should not broach and or discuss the issue of Transgender for example ? Tell that to the Univ of Pa girls swim team !


I still feel this can be discussed without 'hate' yet at the same time be able to question the what if's

Remember this, no one is forced into these discussions

Put it back in context, friend Mikado. :)

The issue, I suspect , is that you combined that with the suggestion it would somehow affect their job performance.
That's it.
If Shady wants to explain more, that's his prerogative... I'm only speculating.

I tried engaging with you about it in what I had hoped would be a positive and productive conversation.

Now, If you want to discuss LGBTQ issues and keep judgemental comments out of it, I'm certain it would be looked at differently. However, you're posing a false equivalency between discussing whether a trans athlete should be able to compete as their identified gender vs whether a person who is into drag can do their job.

Are you truly blind to that distinction, Mikado?
Again, my speculation, but there is a big difference between those examples which could make one a suitable thread, and the other not.

To your last point:
Remember this, no one is forced into these discussions
This is true, and the Forum as an entity still gets to draw the line as to whether a member can post stuff that steps over any line of propriety.

Here's a great example: My Dad is racist. I don't put up with it. He wants to drop the N-bomb and I look him straight in the eye and challenge him to do say that to his friend across the street who is black. He shuts up pretty fast. Now, if he posts that on FB, Twitter, this forum, etc, I would expect him to get slapped down by the mods.
Do you need me to connect the dots for you? ;)
