Deadpoked...You Avatar is telling in so many ways...not the least of which is you slogan...."Inadequate User"
I quite agree.
"av84fun your ignorance never ceases to surprise me."
The more intellgent mind would quickly cease to be surprised by any phenomenon as discernable as ignorance and would anticipate it...not be surprised by it.

No, "a police state" is not a term it is an entity. Your sentence should have read..."Police state is a term...."
Yes, I am quite aware that your use of the term "police state" was an analogy. My response was sarcastic...which is a form of humor that appears to be above your banal mentality.
But that term connotes an arrogant and dispicable ruling elite and using that term to criticize the management of this business is grossly insulting while being patently incorrect.
Forum segmentation by subject matter is not "repressive" but rather systematic. But you don't seem to understand that concept so let me help you.
This is the AZ Billiards web site so there is your FIRST CLUE...it is here to foster BILLIARDS.
However, while the pool-related forums number some three dozen, the management has seen fit to further expand the attraction of the entity by providing ONE forum quite specifically and discriptively entitled NON-POOL RELATED....that is CLUE #2.
Each and every one of the three dozen other forums are related to pool which is self-evident in their titles. But just to be SURE that you realize that the pool related forums are for pool related subject matter, they named that ONE other forum NON-POOL RELATED.
Behaving FAR, FAR differently from a repressive police state, the moderators have only loosely enforced..not STRICTLY enforced the matter of non-pool related subjects appearing in the main forum.
But they, as is their fundamental RIGHT, finally decided...and numerous posters to this thread have agreed...that non-pool related posts had gotten "out of control" as one member put it and Mr. Wilson simply gave us all a heads up that management wanted that practice to stop.
You might disagree with that decision as some others have, but referring to management policies on that subject as being the repressive acts of a police state was an arrogant and rather ugly comment.
But along those lines, at least you are consistent.
