NO ONE is ever forced to open a thread…..the insane begging outcry by some for Enforcement to stop THEM from clicking a link is truly one of the most hilarious things I’ve ever seen. The disputes whether in Sports post or Other usually Peeter out and life goes on. And a remarkable thing happens when I don’t click on a post…..I have NO IDEA what is typed there :lol: :lol:
Or people could just be respectful and follow the rules. Their forum, their rules.
It’s not middle school adults should be secure enough to read things they don’t agree with.
Adults should know how to follow rules.
I agree with following the rules, I disagree that the rule is necessary. And what is considered political is almost anything currently in the news.
If it’s not about baseball or the Cardinals, it doesn’t belong on a baseball/Cardinals forum. If that’s censorship, so be it.

There is no need for those type of posts on a sports forum. They get very nasty and personal and the people who make them are typically just trying to get a rise out of people. And they are constantly are inserted in threads so they are hard to avoid.
:lol: :lol: :lol: That’s really rich. So the Baseball discussions that devolve into “Nasty and Personal” are just fine……AGAIN, what forces ANYONE to open one of these posts??? It boils down to YOU and every poster on here having self control…..or lack thereof and NEEDING a MOMMY to ensure you don’t take an action that is completely under your control so your feeling don’t get hurt ::crazya:: ::crazya::

Then don’t open the post. How many other things do you NOT do in life knowing you shouldn’t…..Speeding, stealing, cheating. But apparently you can’t keep yourself from opening a post that you have no interest in…. 8O

Start your own "open" forum then. If you can't follow this simple rule and it causes you such diarrhea :lol:

Most things in life have rules. Must be hard for you

Folks, there are literally dozens of political chat sites of all stripes. If you want to argue about politics you have many choices. I don't have a problem with keeping it to baseball here. Geez...

So you really don't agree with following rules. Only the ones you agree with. That is pretty common this day and age.
On a privately owned site that choice is not yours. You have two choices, follow their rules or don't post.
Agree. It’s ridiculous that people sign up for the forum agree to the rules of no politics in order to sign up for it then immediately feel they are so entitled that they can break the rules they agreed to just because they feel they are so special that the rules shouldn’t apply to them. But this is an age where people feel they are entitled

Some users inject political posts into threads; it's not as simple as not clicking on a thread title that refers to politics.

The same posters who bellyache about seeing a certain Presidents name are the same people that hop on threads about a Cardinals or baseball topic they don’t think should be posted or are constantly criticizing a particular poster they don’t like. They seek out this type of confrontation then act the victim ::crazya:: ::crazya:: ::crazya::

It’s really very simple. A company provides a free forum for the enjoyment of Cardinal fans, and publishes rules for posting. Just follow the rules and enjoy.

I know, it's hard to imagine.
