Why do people continue to ignore the rules and post in the wrong forum?
Are people really that challenged when it comes to reading comprehension?

5. I did it the other day by accident!
I felt bad about it all weekend. It was something in the title of the thread that tripped me up.

8. You know, the way I read it is that if you were discussing
the actual candidate and their campaign, then to GD-P with you. But talking about Obama speech about racism does not meet the qualifications. Racism has nothing to do with the candidate's run.

This thing about relegating all mentions of Clinton and Obama to GD-P is ridiculous. There are some issues bigger than their candidacies and must be allowed into GD for discussion.

12. Then ask Skinner to change the rules
Here's the way I read the rules:

If your thread is about the Democratic presidential primaries and caucuses, or about any of the candidates running for the Democratic presidential nomination, or anything remotely related...

Please post in this forum:

GD: Primaries

16. We're talking about racism, not the election. I don't see how
racism is "...anything remotely related" to the election. Neither is Pastor Wright and his comments.

9. Speaking from personal experience, it's really easy to do by accident.
But I do a lot of posting on the run.

17. I think it is because we all put GDP on ignore
So they have to post it out here in GD to see if they can antagonize some one.

No one left that hasn't been pissed off or pissed on in GDP

21. This irritates me too. It has spilled over into a number of forums.
It's just like Wall Street: No safe place to hide.
