I posted this in the Spin Zone but I know not all will see it there and perhaps the question is really more apropriate in this forum anyway.
With the recent policy decision announced by the Managment Council earlier this week about the Troy Martin threads and their subsequent locking I wondering why there is a thread in the Spin Zone that is discussing a person from the Dixie Chicks aparently being allowed to continue where there is similar name calling. In that thread in particular I would like to know why is it ok to call Natalie a 'wing nut', an 'ultra maroon', '3rd grade drop out', etc. here on PoA. But conversely as announced in the policy it is not ok to call Mr. Martin a 'looser', 'idiot', etc??
Not trying to get anyone here in trouble nor restrict discussion. I am just noticing a serious inconsistency on how a new policy is being administered. It would seem like either it is ok for us to express our opinions of anyone or of no one.
Please explain why this topic is different than the one about MAG.
