Where did Starbucks thread go??

[msk]

I thought there was a nice debate going on. From what I read it was civil, no name calling, etc...Mods, why so quick to delete around here?

Wow, lighting strikes fast here.

 

[msk]

No doubt!

Hohn, just because I disagreed with your POV, does not mean I have an issue with you personally. I would have made that point had the thread not been deleted.

HAHA. Oh well....until the next time!

Some political discussions are not allowed....

 

[printcraft]

It evaporated!

 

[traderdan]

I was having a good time!

You gotta admit, it rapidly deteriorated into a discussion of sexual orientation rather than a discussion of a business' right to choose how to model their corporation.

No offense taken or offered.

I really enjoy the debates, for one. I enjoy the challenge of trying to make my argument.

Intelligent people like you make it a real challenge!

I put my big boy undies on every day...Debate does not offend me! I still buy Starbucks and probably always will.I do find it to be incredible that some groups espouse tolerance but cannot stand opposing viewpoints!

My sexual orientation is low and to the left

True...but it still seemed relevant.

I appreciate that...and share the sentiment.

You'd rather have an anything-goes free-for-all? I've been to those kinds of forums. They suck.

I think you're squeezing too hard.

 

[Sfrandolph]

Who cares.

Roger. Solid Copy.

Hate to see threads deleted. That is all.

Agreed. Id rather see them locked or moved or what have you.

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

I guess it really must have flamed out kind of late there...

The last I saw, it was the typical back and forth with the usual passion.

Yeah, we tried that too and people complained. Loudly. It's just not possible to make everyone happy, so the staff attempts to keep the site running as fairly as possible. I didn't see the thread, but it sounds like it was degenerating into homosexual slurs. While that's not specifically spelled out in the rules, it should be blindingly obvious that it's not appropriate for INGO.

I only care because it was some of my best work, and lost to posterity forever!
