What happened to thread???
Admin, Was the thread deleted where we were discussing the Presidential election? If so, why? We were doing so in a nice way. I don't see why we cannot discuss important topics as long as the overall tone is a friendly one.
This forum has lost some very nice members because they were made to feel unwelcome here. Haven't you noticed the lower level of activity over the past three months or so? We very much enjoy the relationships that have been made here and the ones that we are making, and some of us would like to be more free to express ourselves from time to time. Life would be very boring if we all agreed on everything all the time.

I agree. I read the thread, I didn't post because I don't vote therefore I don't feel I have a right to an opinion. But the thread was pleasant & civil & showed no sign of getting out of hand.

I saw the thread and a few posts to it. I know that as a McCain supporter I was more than a little upset with how the election went and I wasn't ready to hear the cheers from the Obama supporters. I don't think that I was alone in feeling that and that's why the thread was removed. Just think about how you would have felt if the tables would have been turned. I think that politics just need to be given a little time because it's still a sensitive subject.

If you don't want to participate in a thread or even view it, that is your option. It's not fair for a couple of people to dictate what a community of equals wish to discuss which is what is developing in this forum.
There are threads that I simply pass on because the subject matter is not something that I wish to participate in. I have no problem with others participating. That's their option, but I do have a problem with having to tippy toe around and being afraid to post for fear that someone will be offended. That atmosphere makes for an unfriendly place. Please let's keep this forum open and friendly. Friends can disagree and still be dear friends. We are all unique and bring much to this community.

You asked why the thread was removed and I was replying to your question.
I think that we do have a friendly forum and I think that for the most part we do get along well. I agree with you that when there's a thread that you don't agree with that it's best to leave it alone. As for why some of our people have left our forum I can't say because it was never made clear as to why. I'm guessing that politics was and still is a senstive subject.

What happened to thread
There is one thing I still dont get. If you click on "View New Posts" at the top, there are some folders that have a little "corner" thingy on the bottom right corner of the folder icon. Currently, this thread is an example of that. What the heck is that corner thingy?
