Controversial topics board....did I do something wrong?

[Frwinkley]

I've had access for a few days, but tonight I don't. Did I do something wrong? Violate a policy? If so, I'm not sure what that might be.

Any idea?

Nope. I just responded to your email. You selected the Opt-Out option, so I assumed you wanted to be removed. Some have. Not many, but some have asked to be removed. I have just added you back.

Could you add me back as well? When I had trouble with the Dual Authentication, I lost access to that board as well.

Thanks

I don't think this forum is open to everyone.

@WebmasterCorey has asked in the past that he be tagged if there's an issue. So, there's the tag.

I didn't even know this was a thing. Can I be added?

Go to the top of the community board. You should see the "sub forums". The controversial board should have a link below it to request access. Or if you click on the board, you should get wording on how to access.

After reading through a few of the threads I'm like wow. Cancelling your family members over their politics? Yikes It's worse, darker and more hateful then I imagined. Maybe once the election is over it will calm down... or it will get worse. I'm not sure it's my cup of tea, but it's given me some insight to some of the posters on here. It's actually pretty disturbing.

As you will find discussed in detail on that board politics normally boils down to a difference in values. A lot of people are no longer talking about the best way to help the economy, but about bigger ethical issues that have long range impacts. And yes, I’ve lost friends over what you might deem as politics, but I consider that I’ve lost friends that don’t share the same values I do.

Good thing you reported in for everyone who's not there. Hopefully they won't make the mistake and put themselves through it all.

It can get rough up there (often) but at the end of the day I would still love to meet up with everyone for a beverage......just not a cup of tea.

I'd buy a round for sure.

@WebmasterCorey. I requested access and got the email on 10/29 I have access to the page but not the posts. I have been a disboards member for many many years

That's pretty sad actually. My joy in life comes from my family, friends, work, God and my pets, just got a new puppy. Oh and of course my cruises. I don't want to lose family or friends because I don't like who they are voting for. The person who sits behind the resolute desk isn't worth that.
