It had a link to the repercussions of not resolving the issues if the matter was not resolved. I also commented on the post by being critical of our dollars spent in support of foreign countries when we ourselves have financial issues. I do not thing there was anything offensive in the post that would cause it's removal. I am curious as to why it is gone and would suggest that if it was removed by an admin that the author be notified so that if a rule were violated the author would then be aware of what constitutes a violation. I would be quite surprised if the post were removed because of any violation on my part. Perhaps moved to the political forum that as a guest I cannot see? Although I did not see it as political. If so it still would have been nice to have been notified. GorillaXI 1

I do not think it was political in my opinion. No political party reference was made at all. The fiscal cliff is a reality effecting all Americans as is the expenditure of tax dollars. No reference to political parties, pro or con, was made. Somewhat disappointing that it was arbitrarily moved for being a political type post. That said I still respect your decision to administer the web site as you see fit. GorillaXI and hxtr 2

It is a very real and scary thing that will affect everyone in this clan in a financial way. Even out members and friends over seas will be effected by this. More Americans won't be able to take vacations and even buy everyday goods that are imported. To me it would be the same as talking about the stock market, except our short and curly's are in the hands of the wrong people. I for one am disappointed that this post was removed.

You are 100% wrong there Pete, what I meant by that was that we have no control over this situation. I wasn't pointing fingers at any person or group of people. Just saying that our future is not in control.

While it would be 'nice' to have had notification obviously someone who we have entrusted with the capability of doing so felt the post needed to be relocated. I think that people who are not volunteering their time to assist the clan and yet complain about how it's being administered need to step back and think. I also find it distasteful that an admin would bring things like this up here.

And talking about our economy is not political. So is talking about the price of gas, food cost rising, more unemployment and a prethera of other topics all considered political? Think some people need to look up the definition of political/politics. LittleTooT, ChknFngr and Shamu 3
