CAP is a professional business oriented forum so we may not be as liberal as some entertainment boards in terms of acceptable behavior.
That being we said we are and always have been wide open to professional, positive and constructive discussion in most areas of the baord. The polical session is allowed a little more freedom to discuss the issues that we all confront and take passionately. The free for all area is also more tolerant of non business topics as long as they dont get offensive.
This was discussed and has been posted at CAP here in the important disucssions area for years:

The rules we do have are not meant to surpress free speach, but they are a guideline of what is and what isnt acceptable behavior here.
Without checks and balances a community our size could quickly become poisoned and a hostile circus by a few negative personalties. All of us have seen that happen elsewhere.
The needs of the many out weigh the “free speach” ability of the very few who will only distract and distance our positive members and cause endless headaches for our moderators and partners. It aint an easy job to do that Elgoog but it has to be done.
Understand this, our goal is to provide affiliates and programs with a healthy, positive, constructive and effective way to grow their businesses.
We want to help affiliates increase their knowledge base, make friends, trade links, discover new partners and get help when needed.
For partners we do our best to develop quality relationships with successful and professional affiliates and help facilitate communication as needed.
Thats what we are all here for. If a shouting match or negativity or rumor mongering is what you seek I hope you wont find it here at CAP. I will always do my best to ensure you dont.
It’s not just politics that affilates are passionate about. This business is our passion.
Positive results can come from a negative situation when we’re allowed to share all sides of the situation. All sides isn’t going to always just be the positive side. To suppress opinions that are not in line with yours, or that you feel is not positive enough because someone isn’t happy about something, is not a reason for banning.
I also don’t think that anyone should be banned just because of who they are affiliated with.
