Actually[/CODE] you make a good point. If I defend 3P and support them, am I not doing anything different to Terry.
If I criticise them, should my posts stay here without question?
Grey area.
As Gronk points out, who's to say that I don't have a political gain one way or another.
I'm also good friends with Parra Future. How does LU know that if I start making positive posts in support of him that I'm not trying to gain a political advantage personally?
If it's all open to personal moderator disgression, that the grey area.
Suity
No. Not a grey area. You're entitled to an opinion. So long as you aren't getting a personal political gain out of it, we don't care. You supporting someone isn't going to get them elected. It's just one random username's opinion.
Sangreal was making a personal gain, and couldn't substantiate anything he said. That's his fault.
We aren't stopping opinions. We're stopping people using our site as a billboard for their own agendas.
So long as what bartman or anyone else posts is not breaching guidelines, and isn't for personal political gain, then it will not be deleted. I have no idea what you're talking about re the telegraph, but it's obvious you don't understand what libel means. If it's sourced somewhere else and linked to, the onus is off us.

By the way, the word is discretion.
