Warning to All
As the election process continues to grow, more and more posts and posters from this section are being reported to the Admin team, and in most cases, the reports are justified, because some of you are out of line, not only with the rules, but with general good Christian conduct.
We are not here to babysit or hold the hands of grown men who ought to know how to conduct themselves in a Godly way.
Be as passionate and forthright as you want about your candidate, but stop disregarding obvious Biblical mandates on how to treat each other.

Re: Warning to All
We commonly receive reports of people calling each other out as liars and slanderers. It has become a regular occurrence these past few weeks. There are only three Admins currently. We simply cannot read every single post in every single section. And we certainly cannot go into every reported post and comment, respond, or take action. Hence this post, for all to see at once.
So, if you all please, please refrain from the personal attacks and accusations. If you cannot interact peaceably with your fellow believer in Jesus, then you will be forced to stop interacting with them.

It seems that you are more concerned with someone calling people out for their lies and slanders than you are about the lies and slanders themselves.

We care about members here interacting in ways that glorify the Savior. Much of what happens here in the Politics Section is ad hominem nonsense that shouldn't be once named among the saints.
If at any time anyone who posts in this area feels like they need to go off on someone and call them out, why not just hold that thought and go and pray and ask the Lord if it's really worth it, and if there is going to be anything edifying to come of it, or if you can merely let it go and forgive?

It's odd to me that twice, within hours of a post, I have received PMs from Admin with infractions or demands for an apology, yet I've reported a few posts days ago with no response. Perhaps it's just a coincidence, but it seems a bit selective.

If someone is going to call another out for "lies" then they need to submit proof of the lies. They should not be allowed to simply call people liars, fools or racist without quoted proof. If they refuse or cannot offer the proof, then an apology should be made and/or an infraction be given.

For the record, when the Admin gives a warning, infraction or a private message, we don't inform everyone else one person was affected.

I understand. But it doesn't appear anything was done, since both slanderous posts are still there, unedited for all to read and no apology has been given. Admin was quick to delete "head up your rear" yet keeps the slander untouched. What else am I supposed to make of that?
I also have one PM with a read receipt which has been sitting unread by Admin since Tuesday afternoon and possibly a couple other reported posts which I wasn't able to track.
Tell me, what would you do if someone falsely accused you of being a racist and "the biggest liar on AFF?" I doubt you would "drop it." I also doubt 0 would be posting for a while if he slandered you.
Two other posters have stated similar claims - they don't recall seeing Originalist criticize or disagree with Trump, yet he only attacked and slandered me.
