Obama is as right wing as Tony Abbott.
You look at their policy views and announcements.

Obama is called Left wing by idiots like Limbaugh and O'Reilly or nutcases on the extremes of the Republican Party.
No sane person would class him as LW.

I also think he's done a decent job I'm certainly not anti Obama.

Spots thread - and it really was pathetic - had nothing to do with bias.
I like Obama and I don't have political bias in AUS as I neither live nor vote there.

In all fairness. Bump to Andrei.

Pfft. Stop acting like it's some big conspiracy.

A rubbish thread got deleted, and another rubbish thread (that was based on an actual article - there's your distinction) will soon be buried and forgotten.

Either way, the world is still turning.

does that mean they'll delete ALL rubbish threads? You seem to be a fan of it, what say you?

As I said - a lot of threads would be better deleted than shifted to a sub-forum.

based on what? someone else's idea of whats 'stupid'?

Sure. Presumably the mods can be trusted to have some idea of quality control.

Are you saying the threads in question were not stupid?

Don't know as I didn't see it.

I do think the thread on Michelle Obama being a man is stupid, and yet its still there ... same with the thread suggesting Morrison is a real man ... the thread on Warne, the thread on Chemtrails

but I also understand that while I feel they are stupid, others might not ... that is why no one should delete a thread just because he feels it to be 'stupid'.

Sorry Andrei:

I deleted spots thread for no other reason that it was idiotic and something a 12 year old would put up.

That is not your job. You do not get to decide what is 'idiotic,' and then delete using the Mod buttons.

That is censorship in the most pure form. The Mod Job is to see that the Rules are observed, not delete what they personally reckon is 'idiotic.'

Embarrassed

Then don't start a public forum ... it comes with the territory. Either you let the members of the forum speak their mind, or you don't ... you do not get to decide what is stupid.
