you must be joking
the moderation on the CTF is a bad joke
i have seen a posting where a famous  female celebrity of African origin was
compared to a Gorilla and the posting was allowed to exist on the board
i have seen the term"Jews and Jewess" used over and over in derogatory fashion
CTF members are constantly posting links and URLS showing the USA in as bad a
light as they can,emphasizing the faults in our country(crimes,corrupt
practices,etc)..many times these links are bogus and unsubstaintiated

i could go on and on,,its disgusting

not interested in debating you
let the membership decide if the CTF is allowed to exist
