Posters give out medical advice, tax advice but prayer is off  limits

Hope you read the sarcasm

A thread (that was not political) that I commented on yesterday was taken down.  It was merely a prayer for those under attack. That is a humanity issue, IMO.

It seems we are only allowed to discuss "frivolous" topics. As I am really not into those topics, I am saying goodbye to these boards.

@Sapphiregal You need to find another place to post that stuff.  There are zillions of options.  Don't mess up this nice place with that stuff!  That is not the purpose or intent here.  So why push it? 

I don't want to hear it and that's why I come here.  Saying goodbye is a kind thing to do for us all.

@Sooner @Sapphiregal   Sooner you are right. When we signed up we agreed to follow community standards. This is a shopping board and no more. There are a million boards for posters to go where they can post anything! Go.

@dooBdoo 

As usual, you have expressed in gentle, eloquent, and yet accurate terms what I have been thinking for a while.  

I have been guilty of pushing the envelope myself at times, yet I would be sad to not have these forums to visit were they to shut down.  I will strive to do better.🤞

By the way, it's good to see you back!  You are greatly missed when you're not here.  Sorry to hear you have been feeling so poorly. 🙏💐

@dooBdoo  And we care about you too.  Nice to see you feeling up to posting today.  Your contributions are always well-thought out and sincere.

Hi, @Justice4all!❤️

I've missed you, and all of the kind posters here!

Trying to catch up, lots of reading to do.

Just imagine the nasty posts that would happen if political discussions were allowed.  It  seems we can't agree to disagree respectfully on designers, clothing lines or most anything without nasty snarky comments.  Keep Politics out I say.  I respect oposing opinions.

Thank you, @geezerette and @deepwaterdotter!❤️

I started a thread the other day.  It was about our gas bill, it went up $300, almost double what we normally pay.  That's pretty much all I posted, definitely not political and it's gone.  I don't know what happened.

These financial posts never go well anymore.  There are a few posters who routinely veer off into political jabs due to inflation  🤷🏼‍♀️
