What happened in Las Vegas is a sad situation, which I'm sure we can all agree. It is breaking news and it has affected many people. There is no reason that this subject cannot be discussed here at TTR.
Now if someone wants to turn this into an anti-gun thread, this is where is crosses the line into politics. This would be when we would need to moderate the thread. If everyone uses common sense and knows the difference between news and political opinion, we can carry on as usual. This is a room for NEWS. If one person feels the need to jump on the grandstand and turn this bad event into a place to spew their own agenda, they will have redirected the spot light from the people that we can all sympathize with, to a flame fest. At this point you have taken my place to feel comfortable talking with friends and turned it into a cesspool that needs to be cleaned up.
We did not create this place to wade around in other peoples filth. The moderators here do not get paid to clean toilets. I did not invest countless hours of my valuable time for someone to drop a load of poop in the lobby. All we ask is that the membership here help to keep this a welcome place for ALL members, not just the members that share your same political and religious beliefs. To me this is just a matter of common sense.
Anyone that wants to test the waters and push the limits is taking my available free time that I choose for enjoyment, thereby forcing me to be a digital janitor will find that I will open the flood gates and wash your trouble instigating butt away.
Now I have been forced to spend my time creating this explanation for what should be obvious. I have been robbed of my time that I could have been spent enjoying this forum into time that I need to work at crafting my sentence to make it understandable to a 5 year old. I do not recall inviting any 5 year olds to this forum.
Do we all understand?
