What you should have done was changed the title and notified the moderator about the change and why you changed it. At least that's what I would have done.
This garbage with Chapman isn't going to help government with their pro illegals stance much.
I saw that original title but never got a chance to see what the article was about. I thought maybe it was Troll.
I guess the original headline presented a bit of a dilemma.
But this seems like an okay solution.
Yeah, I think cripplecreek got it right. There are two rules that appear to be mutually exclusive. I think you did the right thing this time around.
Set the Dog Free!

This is going to be a big issue for the Republicans this election. I think it may not help with the voter turnout in a lot of border states. I hope not though.
1) Vulgarities are not permitted in posting
2) This board is not publicly owned, its publicly supported and therefore Moderators deem what is and isn't appropriate
3) Don't like the rules, move to another board!
Yep, the law that they choose to enforce, shows how little they thing of US Citizens.
It seems that anyone that can think on their feet, act independently and get the job done is no longer an American quality.
I was a commisioned salesman for 11 years .. I did well utilizing those very qualities .. when I slowed ... so did money.
If ever there was a time for Presidential intervention ... President Bush ... this is it.
Neither is changing article titles permitted. Which rule am I supposed to obey? They seem to be contradictory.
Thanks for the quick invitation to move to another board. That's pretty harsh when you see my dilemma.
"It is outrageous that the federal government is endangering the lives of these three men."
Understatement of the year.
Our government needs to be put on a leash -- not the "Dog".
Stuff like this gets me so p**st off I can't even see straight!
Maybe you could try freepmailing the moderator for guideance instead of acting like a complete classless dolt by shrieking CENSHORSHIP!
Of course if the US lets the Dogs go, ya know Mexico will be screaming:
Who let the Dogs out???
Who let the Dogs out???
You can add your own barking sound, heh. Crazy world we live in.
I went to that website. It is not really a news site at all. It's a commercial blog. They're selling their services of locating and selling public data on individuals.
They do print some news, but that's not the site's focus. I think the article should be in Bloggers/Personal.
Did you even read post #8?
Mr. President:
I urge you to stop the extradition of Duane Chapman, 53, his son Leland Chapman, 29, and his brother Timothy Chapman, 41 to Mexico.
I am certain that you know Mr. Chapman's history. The Chapmans were successful in returning a serial rapist, Andrew Luster, who is now serving 104 years in prison in the United States as a result of their work. Luster fled the United States after being convicted in a California court for three rapes. Mexico had made no attempt to arrest and return him.
He and his family are well known by the U.S. public for their apprehension of fugitives and bail jumpers.
Mexico has never cooperated with the United States in returning any of our citizens or their own nationals in Mexico for the commission of crimes in the United States. I have lived here on the U.S. Mexico border for over 50 years. I was employed as a Border Patrol agent and a middle manager for the U.S. Customs Service for over 33 years.
The corruption and complicity of the Mexican government at all levels is no surprise to me.
I again urge you to intervene in this instance and if necessary issue a Presidential pardon. Have the courage to stand up for our own citizens, something President Clinton was loathe to do.
Name withheld
I did read post #8, yes. I don't take your point. It's still a commercial blog, and the headline at that blog is offensive.
Sorr, this should have been directed to dirtboy.
