BBQ will continue to post political opinions

This is in response to John who wants the bbq to be nonpolitical.

From the beginning of the bbq (first an email list serve and then a website) Chuck and I decided we would not censor posts. We have returned a few to posters to clean up because they either attacked someone personally or used fowl language. If they didn’t clean it up those weren’t posted.

And we refuse to censor ideas and opinions. This is a community website and is meant to be inclusive even if we don’t agree with the content.

It is important to me that as a people we learn to agree to disagree (or scroll on by or hit delete). There is too much meanness and bullying going on in our culture by some people who feel it’s ok to attack someone with a different viewpoint, background or outlook on life.

This is not acceptable and I will carry on Chuck’s commitment to open discussion.
