If you don't like how this site is run, it is a big internet, and you are free to leave. No threads have been deleted in quite awhile. Those that have in the past violated forum rules, or are requested to be deleted by the original poster. Sometimes people post things and regret it later.
Merging and moving threads is standard operating procedure. No reason to have multiple threads on the same topic or in the wrong subforum. That gets confusing and is counterproductive. Quite often we get frantic and accusing messages about someone's thread being deleted when they were simply moved to the appropriate forum or merged to the appropriate thread.
Our Mission - Forum Rules
We want to have a friendly website that helps people, fosters community, and aids local business. We want to be real, authentic, and nice. That has always been our mission. Mean people slinging mud doesn't fit that mission. Because of recent happenings, you can sum up our policy as, "be nice or leave".
See forum rules.
I hope that we can discuss local issues like tolls, tourism, budgets, taxes and the like with helpful dialog to help our citizens and foster community.
I am happy and thankful for all the advertisers we now have, and want a warm and inviting environment here for them and future advertisers. We will remain neutral and don't have any desire to be involved in politics on any level. Please expect any disrespectful or mean posts about locals, whether about a business person, a waiter, a poet, a priest, or a politician, to be deleted, and the author banned.
Well kurt let's see how this applys....you also said
I'm a local. I'm not mentally incompetent nor am I stupid. I just don't happen to agree with Becnel Reps. who work PR for Sandestin Investments LLC., the BCC and the charade being perpetrated against the taxpayers in Walton County in regard to funding the 331 bridge.
If you have rules in place, those rules should apply equally accross the board and not be selectively enforced depending on the "value" you place on an individual either because you personally know them or you "value" their opinion/support of a particular issue.
It is hard to follow threads that started out one place and are merged with something else. If you found that comment disrespectful and think it warrants my removal, I'm sure you will have no trouble doing so but you might want to go back and look at the mean and hateful comments in this thread from those you "value".
Have a nice day.
Misty FYI Dawn in this thread is not Dawn Moliterno!
Sounds like you need to get in the Church on the pew!
