MISSION STATEMENT
"THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY"

Posted September 20th, 2001
Revised March 21, 2007


When we started this bulletin board March 21, 2000 we wanted the fewest rules possible. Here are those simple requirements.

DEBATE, BUT KEEP IT CLEAN.

BE CIVIL TO EACH OTHER

PERSONAL ATTACKS ARE UNWELCOME

DON'T USE VULGARITY

We welcome various political philosophies. We encourage everyone to have fun, to challenge and be challenged so long as they can do so as ladies and gentlemen.

The following things will not be looked on favorably:

Baiting others for no good reason
Unsubstantiated rumors or outright falsehoods
Openly disrespecting this board

Following is likely the most important part of this mission statement so read it carefully.

IF YOU ARE A DEDICATED SUPPORTER OF THE UNITED STATES YOU ARE WELCOME. HOWEVER, IF YOUR INTENT IS TO COME ONTO THIS BOARD AND CRITICIZE OUR NATION FOR DEFENDING ITSELF IN THIS WAR AGAINST MUSLIM TERRORORISTS THEN DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND MOVE ON.

America is deeply involved in a major war and it’s going to take every one of us cooperating and supporting our government to win.If your intent is to deal in anti-American comments (which incidentally support the enemy) do it elsewhere.

Refrain from attacking any part of the U.S. Constitution. We look on negative criticism of the United States (at this point in our nation’s history) as treasonous and not as freedom of speech.

NOTE: We have no interest in reading any comments about your "freedom of speech" as justification for an attack you might like to launch on this board. We make no pretense about running this board as a democracy; it is indeed a dictatorship. It is owned by the ezOP and all final decisions will be made by the five undersigned administrators. The finances of this board are paid by voluntary contributions and are guaranteed by the administrators.

We strongly believe in freedom and liberty and we will be fighting for those things while we also fight the terrorists who would destroy us and all we stand for.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the very talented Moderators and members of this board. Your insight and diversity of thought have helped make it what it is. We look forward to its continued growth as we strive to make this board the best place on the Internet to visit for accurate information.

THIS MISSION STATEMENT IS NOT OPEN TO DEBATE.
