At the entrance to the Pub, it states the following:

The Pub is: Forum to generally shoot the breeze. It is NOT: a debate forum (NO Politics, religion, or controversial topics.) Keep it clean, fun and lite!

I fully understand that there are a lot of things going on in the world and we would all love to solve the pressing issues of the day (trust me, I have my own list), but there is method to my madness in keeping "controversial" topics, to include politics, religion, etc., off of the BCF.

It is not because I want to infringe on your 1st amendment rights (which it isn't since this is a private forum). It is simply because, before I started BCF, I had been on many forums where there was an "anything goes" philosophy and often things would get nasty and heated. So, I decided from the day I started BCF that this would be a different kind of place. By this I mean that the primary focus would be on our collective love of Little British Cars (and big ones too) and we would leave our politics and opinions on the hot topics of the day at the door. I am well aware that not everyone is going to agree with this philosophy, but this approach has served BCF well for nearly 8 years in keeping things at BCF friendly and civil. So, in that tradition, please consider the following when posting in the Pub:

1) Is this topic political?
2) Is this topic likely to "turn" political?
3) Is the topic religious?
4) Is the topic likely to be offensive to anyone?
5) is the topic in poor taste? (I'm guilty on this one )

If the answer to any of the above is yes then please don't post it

If a post is deemed to be too political, or is likely to turn political, it may get deleted by me or one of the moderators (even if it's something which I agree with - I don't discriminate). Don't take it personally. Sometimes a thread may start off ok, but eventually devolve into political commentary, in which cases, individual posts within the thread may be deleted and the thread locked.

If you look at the hundreds of threads in the Pub, 99.999% are perfectly fine. So please continue to keep it lite, fun and in good taste.

Thanks,

Heck, if we even have to ask ourself any of those questions we probably shouldn't post it.

But LBCs ARE a religion to me!!! I spend every Sunday on my knees in the driveway but due to Lucas I have yet to see the light

Then, my son, you may post your prayer requests in the appropriate confessional booth & you will receive your blessing post haste.

Ok, for that denomination we can make an exception!

Hallelujah and Amen!

6. Is the topic disgusting like eating haggis, sucking
crawdad heads, fisheye stew, tripe salad, etc.

Tony, I'm proud of you - you actually typed heck this time!

Oh yea Dale, we haven't had a "discusting food" thread in a while.
Thumbs up to the reminder Mr.B. I know I was guilty of toing the line on a few threads. (if not crossing it)
I shall be more careful in the future.

hehehehe....the kinder & gentler Tony....

Now, THERE'S a scary thought!

Hehe, the Midget is changing Tony.

I always thought Midget's were "character builders"

Stuart.

I agree... The Pub RULES! :-)

What's wrong with that?
