That’s your choice when you’re the one paying the bills. No business will ever make it if it doesn’t cater to it’s customers. In this case, the customers are the advertisers who keep the virtual lights on at TBN.
Not political.. I see TNT is down........

Advertisers are one thing.
Advertisers that dictate to you are another.

Do you live under a rock? When any paying advertiser want to input their opinions into a site that they are paying a users fee to access, they can and do and can influence that site as well. How it works in everything business related.
I'm not here to argue with you. You obviously have an opinion and all well and good but in this instance your opinion means zip.
It is what it is and what it is dictates how the forum (TNT and TBYNet) is managed.
Muhammed came right out and stated that on the TNT forum a while back and asked everyone nicely to refrain from the obtuse posts and where did that get him... Nowhere. If anything, it got worse. Pretty obvious to me at least that most everyone on there thinks they can do exactly what they please but, it don't play that way and it cannot. Bottom line is, he controls the horizontal and the vertical. You need to accept that and move on.

He's in it as a business. I could have a TNT type site up in an hour with no ads at all and it wouldn't cost me much, if anything. Yes, I know that for sure because I've done it in the past.
Do it. Provide a place for you and others to post in the manner which you envision it should be done. That's what is great about this country, you are free to do whatever you want as long as it doesn't harm somebody else.

You are correct. That site has so much potential to be an outstanding news site but unfortunately it's just another Friendly Politics ... a sandbox for the trolls to play in. I would join it in a second if they were all banned and civil discourse became possible. Membership would go from 200 to 20,000!

You think board membership should be restricted to only those you agree with?

It's not about agreement or disagreement. It's about civility and treating others with respect.

When it gets "sticky" the solution is Windex.
In the case of TNT, Windex is proactive management to enforce strict rules.

But yet, here you are ... complaining.
I’m not paid for what I post ... and I seriously doubt that anyone else that you might be referring to is either.

Oh boy, here we go again... The TNT is up and running again. Just go back there and beat each other all you want. It's time to close this d@mn thread before this gets the stupidity levels of the other forum.

That's where it gets sticky.When it gets "sticky" the solution is Windex.
I did a site once with the intent to never boot anyone that wasn't a spammer.. I don't like sites that boot people for what they say. There was one though that had to go simply because they posted general nuisance nonsense that had nothing to do with any of the topics. It wasn't agreeing, disagreeing, or even arguing. It wasn't about breaking rules. It was just trash.
