3. Got something against us Floridians

or what? Is there a reason you posted this particular poll?

6. The article attached

to the poll states why the poll interests the paper. I am assuming the question includes non-Florida residents.

"Pinellas reported just over 2-million visitors through April, an increase of 1.4 percent. Hotel occupancy, however, was down 1.6 percent, reflecting a statewide trend.

Tourism officials are scratching their heads over what happened to last year's strong tourism growth."snip

Exerpt:


So I sign up on democrapticunderclown.com I want to post a few topics. Looks a place where you need to agree with them, ok I get it - I read the rules.

Anyway, you can't post a topic unless you reply to a few threads.

So I did. In a non confrontational - even left wing slant. Short one sentence replies (no exclamation points) so I could get to *eventually* post my topic.

Here's a few samples of my replies:

"Wow that looks bad"

"He looks dead in that picture"

"I love Geno's Cheese Steaks" Seriously. Those were my posts. The cheessteak thread was based on the owner being involved in some "freedom fries" comment or something - I guess.

Along those lines. Playin' it safe.

So there's a thread "Who would be the left's Ann Coulter?" I post "Hillary" because of their controversial postitions and responces from both sides of the spectrum.

BOOM! BANNED!!OMFG are you guys on the left a bunch of sissyfied, wimpy, insecure *******s!! Good Lord!

FREE SPEECH!!?!? DIFFERING OPINIONS!?!? DIVERSITY!?!? HA!!!

DEMOCRATIC underground PFffft!! Nothing democratic about that site.
