Rest In Peace brother, we have the watch!!
Well I did not mean to offend you. I stand by my statement that the post objectively violates 3 TRF rules we all try to abide. Talk of religion, violence towards a person and the use of unmentionables. Larry made it clear that it does not matter because moderators are an exception. End of story.

you also told another member if he had anything else to say you live in buffalo new york and he could visit you there?

there has to be something against the threat of violence which it sounded like in that statement?

but i could have misread it since it is an online forum....

I meant online arguing is devoid of context and I’d be happy to have the conversation in person. You don’t see the post that was deleted where he insulted me personally in this thread.

GB-man is absolutely right. I actually was reading the rules in this section earlier today.

The post breaks the stated rules.

With all due respect.

Agreed...I also believe that these types of posts explicitly violate the forum's rules.
Rules that apparently only apply to us non-moderator folks.

I have to agree. All animals are equal. But some are more equal. I watch the news for bad news. Don’t like seeing it here.

Sorry to say....unless you have been living under a rock for the last few thousand years, not all are equal. Unless you can show me otherwise?

RIP Detective Joseph Seals.

Condolences to your family and friends.

A life taken protecting others.

Tim, I am as far away from New Jersey as anyone could be but this is as meaningful to me as if it were in my own backyard.

E.

"6- ........violence (towards persons or animals) will be subject to the final and absolute discretion of the Moderators to be immediately locked and/or removed without notice to any member."

It seems to me that it's not written there that a topic containing violence will be immediately locked. If that were the case, is it safe threads would not exist for example (albeit I'd love that) because violence is discussed whenever someone asks those silly questions. It says on rule n.6 that mods will read, reflect and then do whatever they think is right.

So, in my opinion, If you don't like the thread don't read and don't post.

Excuse me Tim, if your post is referring to mine above, I have to say I've counted 20 posts on the same subject on this thread, so I thought it was also being discussed and I expressed my opinion as well.

Anyway, RIP Detective.

Flav, not particularly. I just wanted to steer things back to the memorial for the officer. I know these threads can get off topic quickly.

As the idiot who started this nonsense I regret everything about it. Apologies to Tim for turning a meaningless back and forth into the distraction it’s become.

If you can insult yourself and realize the idiocy, then cheers. The men and women that put on a uniform to defend and protect your freedom in ANY country(since some want to emphasize the point that this is an International forum) should be honored and there sacrifice be known, its worth the post. And thanks to Tim for putting the effort out and doing so.1/*
