OT: Should polls be allowed here? [View all] Lithos Apr 2012 OP

No. Futhermore, we should decide if DU2 rules are still in effect or not. Behind the Aegis Apr 2012 #1

Agreed oberliner Apr 2012 #13

BTA Lithos Apr 2012 #43

Disintegration of the prior I/P rules in place on DU oberliner Apr 2012 #24

I agree, but I don't think that's a bad thing. Crunchy Frog Apr 2012 #25

I agree with you that its not a bad thing and allows for a more open wide ranging discussion. Dick Dastardly Apr 2012 #44

here is the problem under the structure of DU3 just how would those rules be enforced? azurnoir Apr 2012 #33

That's kind of what happened here in the beginning of DU3 however DU3 is a whole new game azurnoir Apr 2012 #39

It does oberliner Apr 2012 #58

You're welcome and the pleasure was all mine. n/t Jefferson23 Apr 2012 #50

Actually I'd prefer allowing Electronic Intifada (or Arutz Sheva) to Mondoweiss (or Fresno Zionist) LeftishBrit Apr 2012 #61

Electronic Intifada is not a source directly from the conflict oberliner Apr 2012 #62
