It seems that everytime I join a conversation, I get removed from the topic or the topic disappears or my ability to post on that topic is removed. Why is that? I'm respectful, I stay on topic and add value to the conversations, which some may disagree with.

 

What happend to The Tea Party Thread and why can't I post on The Obama Presidency anymore? Am I not welcome here or what's going on?

If you look closely, you'll see that those threads were locked - likely because forumers can't have civil discourse. Please look carefully to see if a thread has been locked before any further self-flagellation :-)

OK, thanks!

 

How do I tell if it has been locked? And I'm sorry, but I don't know what self-flagellation means. This is a new, big word for me. Please define...
