Tom

you did not "offend" me....my personal views are not relevant to keeping this thread within our guidelines and within the boundaries for respectful debate on controversial issues

You posted in a manner that was not in keeping with my request to please keep the negativity re people's ethnicity off this thread

Although I am a member here with my own viewpoints, it is not those that influence my requests for posting to be respectful of other members here who may be of the ethnic groups and political views that just a few posters have been denigrating

your post was not in keeping with the administrative request that I had made TWICE above it to stop naming people's nationalities, ethnicity and politics when making disparaging remarks about them

If anyone wishes to continue this discussion, keep it civil. No more naming specific ethnic groups. If you wish to discuss "illegal immigrants" please stop singling out any particular group negatively. People from those countries are also members here and THEY have every right to be offended at seeing such sweeping negative comments made

Here are my posts requesting a civility return to this discussion again to refresh your memory
and

the majority of members posting on these political threads keep things civil and respectful and make their points without being personally negative or disrespectful and that is appreciated.

But for clarity I will say again....we are NOT a political forum and the guidelines call for "LIMITING" political discussion
We have members from many different countries and political persuasions and request members to respect that in their future posting.

thanks
Cheri
