    Facebook is a PITA when it comes to sharing their videos. Last few times I added code and what not to allow them to be posted, they kept making changes on their end which screwed it up.

    Welcome, kind sir/ma'am?

    We can definitely use some liberals/democrats here! Admittedly, we're not only a very small community, but also shy on the democrat side of the aisle. We would love and encourage some different points of view. Things get heated, and then we're friends elsewhere, until the next subject comes up.

    Hopefully you guys will stick around! Just know, of course any politics tend to bring out some animosity, even between folks that don't even know one another yet. But I can vouch for almost every single person that posts here from years of posting. You won't agree with the majority, of course. But we have a lot of decent folks here. I always refer to us as a community, or a small family community. Hopefully you guys will become a part of it.

    Welcome to you as well, sir/ma'am?

    Glad to have you aboard. Don't worry, Ricky brought ya to a mellow place. Read around and dig in, whether it be politics, or down to the bottom half of the board in the "Lounge" to just chat, or other forums for just fun and discussion down yonder.

    Thanks for the gentle welcome, Jim. Much appreciated. Oh, and, we're political junkies with very little time for recipes or the like.

    I don't worry about us, BTW. Rather once we're on the loose, you might no longer recognize the cozy place you built.

    I'm not splitting this off, I believe Drummond was typing and didn't see my post:

    http://www.debatepolicy.com/showthre...804#post873804

    I really don't want to move decent posts to the cage, but will if necessary. It would be better to just carry on in politics.

    Political posts moved from Introductions to Steel Cage.

    Introductions are to allow a new poster to give the community a quick synopsis of what they think of interest. Of course those here for a bit should welcome, even give a bit of intro of themselves. No problems.

    What it is NOT however, is an extension of regular forums. I did try to keep the posts here, even allowing for someone that was already writing a response while I gave a heads up. He not only was gracious, but actually thanked and that is appreciated. Still another response went up and it would not be fair to let others not be able to respond, so you all find whatever in the Cage.

    You and @PostmodernProphet are invited to start your own thread, in the Cage.

    This doesn't belong in the introductions. Thank you.

    Non-introduction posts will be deleted, stop. Thank you.

    Moved a few more. Everyone has been warned, temporary bans will begin if people choose not to follow the few rules.

    I see it but I'm still not sure I believe it. Too good to be true. I was a member of USMB about 10 years ago and I loved that place. Yesterday my brother told me that there is new forum with a lot of the guys from that place from back in those days. I asked him why in the hell would anyone do that if they already had a forum? I guess I was wrong. I recognize a few of the names. I don't suppose Editec is a member here?
