Re: Poll: Role of Political Advertisement on ChiefDelphi

I guess the main reason is because of the fact that this website has a corporate affliation along with its name. If this were a standalone website with its own private funding and host with a reasonably benevolent leadership it would likely invite a heightened (though not necessairly more civilized) level of discussion leading to more conflict. Thats one thing I acutally liked about chiefdelph in particular. Well I may feel stymied 5 minutes after an engaging thread is closed, I often come back a day or two later glad to see that it was nipped in the bud while it was in its relative infancy, but only when it was beginning to degenerate into something unrelated to the original topic or obviously below any sort of civilized discussion.

Ultimately its up to whoever pays the bills, although it may not seem fair, it is their own right to dictate their policies.
