Breaking news - Shooting at Synagogue in Pittsburgh

[Colibri]

@Ed_Zotti

Unfortunately, since these types of threads commonly involve hot-button issues, they often fall prey to hijacks and rants about political, religious or other emotionally charged subjects. MPSIMS is not the place for such comments, which detract from the usefulness of breaking-news threads. If you wish to use a current event as a springboard for a commentary about a hot-button issue, please post it in Great Debates or the Pit. You may post a link to your GD or Pit post in MPSIMS, but don’t use that as an excuse to rehash your argument.

So opinions aren’t allowed, or just political opinions? I understand wanting to avoid a hijack and sniping, but I thought opinion was allowed as long as it was civil.

Please review the above rule for guidelines. If you wish further guidance, I would suggest opening a new thread in ATMB.
