I see political threads all the time that could be construed as trolling to the other side of the political spectrum. I have seen threads that attack people who believe in a higher power, and these threads don't get deleted/closed. Is this because one side of the political spectrum is more likely to complain about it? (wouldnt be surprised). I'm sure you don't intentionally allow one side to say their piece and then close the other side's. The TOU say to behave and not be a jerk. I got a warning for "trolling", and I was discussing a political subject, in wich I feel strongly about, and was only following suit with the pace of the liberal posters. Most politics are going to stir emotions.

I guess it's "cool" to hate God and kill babies.

is a situation that cannot apply. If Rich would to ban people for committing blasphemy then he would essentially be aligning this website with the Christians (or whatever religion that was being blasphemed). He's stated several times that this is and should be a website of neutrality in the interest of technology.
The term killing babies is just a supercharged statement designed to invoke severe emotional responses instead of civil discourse.
I have zero idea why the Breibart thread is up though when the Job thread was taken down rather quickly.

America is not a theocracy, and Phone Scoop is not a religious organization. If you require protection from any and all anti-religious statements, may I humbly suggest your local place of worship or your grandma's kitchen.
We do ask that everyone here be respectful, so language that is generally insulting or offensive is prohibited. But "blasphemy" is relative to your religion. So we also ask that everyone respects the religious diversity of our community.

Yes, certain topics - like politics and religion - can be touchy for some people.
Therefore, if you choose to engage in such conversations, take extra care to be respectful of others' opinions and beliefs.
Not being respectful of others puts your message at risk of being moderated (deleted.) I can only do my best to be fair, unbiased, and consistent. There is a lot of gray area and it can be subjective. It's impossible for everyone here to agree 100% of the time on what's inappropriate. I use my best judgement, and that's all anyone in my position can do.

I will be mindful of my words. Sometimes I let total strangers get the best of me.

Need to Quit your whining.....!!!
