Message:: [QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 4606027, member: 110350"][USER=56859]@TIF[/USER] , somebody NOT from the ancients forum came here and posted an EXTREMELY political comment -- which had nothing to do with the thread in which he posted it -- about a phenomenon going on in the world today being a hoax.  I and a number of others reacted with outrage and horror, posting some very sharp responses -- some of them about their family's own personal experience with said phenomenon. I admit that I called that poster a couple of G-rated names like "pinhead."  I had no idea that hitting "reply," which includes the text of the rule-breaking post to which you're responding (which you've already reported for breaking the no-politics rule), is itself a breach of the rules, and condemns you as much as the original offender.  I will know better in the future. We are now all being condemned equally, even though I truly don't believe the blame should fall equally on all who posted last night.  Is it a breach of the rules to say that I hope this pinned post doesn't remain up permanently?  Because I've certainly learned my lesson.  If my taking responsibility publicly for what happened is enough to get that pinned post unpinned, I'm perfectly happy to take it, even if I get an infraction for it, and even though I have no idea what the consequences are for getting such an infraction.[/QUOTE]
