Yeah, I understand the ground rules and all, and the "if you don't like the terms and conditions, take your marbles and go play in another playpen" mentality. What I DON'T get is what was so offensive in that original thread when it appeared on Trainorders that Todd felt a need to kill it. That's something that only he knows. Could it be that the quickest way to have a thread killed it to express a political belief that the moderator doesn't share?
The answer to that question is, probably, "Yes", and, again, if you don't like the terms and conditions, go play in another playpen.
Rinse. Repeat. Rinse.
So, I guess the key to having a thread remain on Trainorders is to be a conservative Republican who doesn't want to hear those irritating union workers complaining about their working conditions?
Drink the same Kool-Aid the moderator likes to drink and all will be fine.
**SIGH** If only California was a right-to-work state, all would be right with the world! <-- dripping sarcasm
