Current Events » in reply to re: And since when are opinion pieces incorrect for CE?

I thought Current Event actually meant Current Event. Silly me for thinking that.

“Bullshit again. You are as transparent as a 2 year old. There was nothing in that post that was any different than any other opinion piece on CE.”

I honestly feel that anything posted on Current Events should be a Current Event. Anything else should be Off-Topic. I know not everyone follows that, but I try to.

I really didn’t care that James Brown’s post was on CE. But is got moved and Robert asked about it. I was just pointing out that is really not a Current Event, at least not the way it was presented.

That’s it. Nothing else. If he had linked to a Current Event, I would have said Frank was wrong. I have also said I think he was wrong moving it to Flame.

“By the criterion you propose (must be about a news story and worded as such, must not contain opinion... etc)most of what you write on CE and most of what’s written on CE in general would have to be moved.”

Every post I have ever started on CE is about a news story. All others I start on Off-Topic. Once a thread gets going, then opinions jump in, but the initial CE post is actually a current event.

I can’t speak for everyone, but that is how I try to post.
