(135,425 posts)Look, here's what YOU don't seem to understand--there's a time and a place for everything. You don't take a nap on the dance floor. You don't eat ice cream in the shower.
And you don't engage in criticism in the BOG.
No one is saying that you can't "engage in criticism" elsewhere--GD or LBN--but not in the BOG. That's not what the BOG is for. Surely you can read a SOP and figure out what the guidelines are? Why are you playing the moke and pretending you don't understand?
For the last many months now, posters who start threads there make it a point to indicate that the post is emanating from the BOG. Anyone having trouble figuring that out at this stage is just not reading the OP.
You want to "speak out" against policy? You want to complain about "wrongful acts?" You are quite free to do that. Knock yourself out. Do that in GD or LBN. See how much "attention" you get. Just don't go into the BOG and beat people up who are NOT there for THAT kind of conversation, for your own amusement and sport--because that is what these disruptors want to do. They're like bullies on the beach, running into a bunch of folks building sandcastles, where everyone is happily at work with pail and shovel, and kicking over the efforts of the sandcastle builders with incessant determination and downright GLEE.
Your attempt to further divert and play the Bush Comparison Game doesn't fly with me. We never had a Bush Group here at DU with a specific, express purpose to discuss positive and uplifting aspects of the Bush Presidency.
Finally, the POTUS is not a "war criminal" and if you think he is, you've got a skewed and childish view of what that term means.
