Because concerns by several members have been posted to us, both publically and privately, about the free speech "allowed" on 4um, we have decided to create three new categories. The primary hot button is that of the Israel/Jewish/Zionism topic. We do not wish to censor and we also do not wish to offend (in reality, unavoidable, as what
offends one may not offend another) anyone. With the availability of specific categories, each individual may eliminate an entire subject that he/she wishes not to view via his/her personal 'setup' page.
In the spirit of cooperation, and with the goal of working toward a satisfying and pleasant forum experience for everyone, we'd like to request that you avail yourselves of these specific category selections when posting your articles. The three new categories are:
Israel/Zionism
All is Vanity
Author! Author!
We hope that you all feel that this is an equitable solution.

FYI
The new Bozo filter may not be enough for the poster who called for censorship. He likes to control, and he wants noone to be able to post about his special group. He probably will not use the Bozo because he is driven to see the posts he wants to control. He acts like an agent of Israel, and feels a misplaced responsibility to defend Israel. Because he feels that Jews are oppressed by people like us in the 'aggressor' Marxist group. He is defending what he perceives to be the victim group, rooting for the underdog, so to speak.
In effect it is the ghettoization of information that profoundly affects the future of our nation.
By default though, the Category Filter allows all categories to be viewed. The poster must choose to remove a category from being viewed. And there will be some overlapping that will "spill over" into World/National News. For example, if I post an article about the London Bombing that includes the amazing timing involving the warning given to only Netanyahu to stay put in his hotel room, that will be seen by anyone with the World News category viewable. OTOH, for example, an editorial that specifically examines how Zionism affects our national policy, that should be posted under the new Israel/Zionism category.
Each poster, I'm sure, has identified other posters whose ideology and posting style they find offensive. Should the posts of these individuals overlap into other categories, then the bozo filter can be utilized.

Good point. Between the Category Filter and the Bozo filter, no one need be offended ever.

The information that shows our fellow Americans what has happened to this great nation of ours and how it happened and that identifies the pernicious and persistent 5th column that has executed a plan that goes back into, at the very least, the 1880s.
Nothing, repeat, nothing will satisfy those who attack 4 save the complete and utter censoring of information that exposes their crimes and their plans.
Unless, and until, 4 capitulates totally to the Jewish Lobby it will know no peace.
