There seems to be trashing of GZ's father allowed...in themost offensive way.<modsnip>
Hi SMM.Yesterday I tried to start a thread on one of the most serious charges against GZ...profiling. There was an article addressing the sad frequency of Black teenage male crime in that condocomplex. You did allow the article but not the thread.
If Gz is charged with a Hate Crime, he could be executed...but we cannot discuss the Charge that might result in his death...in a way that might bring undetstanding to his state of mind? Why not? Is that fair when a man's life is on the line? Are we not serious here? We can discuss how he broke his own nose..But not the charge that hangs over him?
Thank you for allowing me some latitude in the threads but this is not a side issue: profiling is key to this case.
Why can it not be a thread?
Please alert on posts that trash the Zimmermans. Thanks.There seems to be trashing of GZ's father allowed...in themost offensive way. <modsnip>?
Hi SMM.
Please, go ahead and start that topic in the sound off forum. thanks.
Is that a different forum from the one where we are discussing the case? Or is this here where everything else that pertains to this case is?
I didn't find this thread until today...so my WS geography is not topnotch. LOL
But I hope it isn't in a dungeun somewhere...because it is one of the key charges.
Thanks.
I will wait and apprciate you addressing the issue with them. We discuss murder and child abuse here. People accuse and others refute those accusations.
"Profiling" is an accusation used in many, many posts. But it is a CHARGE he is facing, not a "given." WS would never let people call an accused "a molester" on the official forum over and over... and say that anyone defending against that charge had to go to a private forum to do so. I don't believe so anyway. That would skew the forum. And make many who read here assume you had taken a position on his guilt.
I'll wait for your answer. Thanks.
BBMDear Wonderful, Lovely, Beautiful, Hardworking, Overextended Mods...
As much as those of us here with a passion for this case try, we can't seem to stay on topic. Someone posts something on topic that contains an off-topic nugget that others jump off on and next thing you know we're off thread topic even though the off topic comments are often intelligent and valid.
So please please please can't we have general discussion threads again?
I know this would be unusual, but I have followed cases here on WS since the Danielle van Dam case and IMO I have never seen a case that needed such an exception more.
Thanks for your consideration, and for all that you do keeping us all in line.

Here's what I've been doing. If I see an off topic post that I want to respond to, I hit the quote button for that post then highlight and copy the post in the quote box. I then go to the appropriate thread, go to the bottom of the last page and hit "Go Advanced". Paste the quote there and add your reply. It's a pain in the rear but it bumps the thread and helps to keep things on track. HTH.
I'm confused. I thought msn was only allowed, but after clicking on so many links that lead to blogs, I thought maybe they were being allowed in this case. I wish we could only post "links" the old way, where it plainly showed what and where it was. Yeah, yeah I know...shut up teh. :floorlaugh:
Good morning Mods/Admins...
My question:
I know we only link to MSM where we can post part of the article...10% or the first paragraph due to CR infringement...
I'm wondering if it's okay to supply a link to a blog that might have some insight into this horrific case, or any case topic...TIA
send the blog to one of the moderators in the forum.
It largely depends on the context in which it is used.
If it is controversial,new information that no msm is reporting-then chances are it will not be allowed.
If it is generally composed of offensive or questionable material-then it probably will not be allowed.
It is difficult to make a blanket approval or disapproval for any site and sometimes even allowed sites are not allowed for certain topics or specific discussion and not allowed blogs become acceptable for linking pictures or audio sometimes.<--some new information
Any blog or site that is completely forbidden no matter what the context wil have **** when you try to post the link. If you ever get that do not post the informtaion or the link.
Thanks.
