I do, too, and I don't particularly care for Trump. We can do better than mocking his appearance.

Some can't do better. We all know who they are.

Where? The mods are aware. There have been timeouts and suspensions for some and despite that the childish offenders continue to push the envelope.

Where? The high road. We all could start taking the high road, and lay off the snark.

From what I've experienced in my limited time posting here, it is evident some are incapable of taking the high road or they just don't respect the owners wishes.

Everything about Trump should be mocked, since that's what he does. Shove it right back in his face.

Of course, Trump is a target-rich environment for mockery.

Frank wasn't mocking his appearance, just his insane fixation on a ridiculous insult about his hand size an obscure magazine made 30 years ago.

That is just plain mental (as Ann Coulter would say).

Really? Insults against the politician candidates are forbidden? Or is it only one particular candidate? I mean, if we can call Cruz a sniveling, lying weasel...

Of course it's a pejorative; the orange baboon deserves no less. I suspect this is an attempt by certain mods/admins who cannot tell the difference between their roles as partisan members and their roles as moderators/admins apart, to the detriment of the board as a whole. 'Tis a shame. But the orange baboon would be quite content.

I thought this was a new thread. When I realized it was older and I had already commented much the same as what you'd quoted when it was new, I deleted the post you replied to.

To All:

Respectfully - Please stop using "orange baboon" in this manner. It is an impolite pejorative. Mods.

"Orange baboon" is a misnomer. There is no such thing. The term is orangutan. But in any event, applying the term to Donald Trump is more than an impolite pejorative. It is downright offensive - to the orangutan.

A Trump Safe Zone was created where no pejorative could be used against Herr Donald and where no opposition thoughts are allowed to stand.

Now, some Mods want to expand those restrictions outside the Trump Safe Zone.

Soon no opposition posts will be allowed.

No, there was a mod who edited your signature block last night, adding the link to this thread and demanding everyone adhere to it. The mod then went on a rampage, editing people's posts to reflect that.

I clicked the link, thinking it a new thread, posted and then saw this was an old thread.

I was officially told that referring to Trump as an orange baboon was no longer verboten this AM. So we can all breathe easier. LOL

Yep, they got the report back from the proctologist early this morning. The obstruction was removed before serious damage had been done.
