    Check the thread you created, this is not it.

    I am a forum administrator and moderator.
    I am taking about the Trump/US economy comments and discussions that were made in this thread, it has the possibility of turning into an argument or have further discussion. It is not allowed in this section of the forum. What is so confusing about this?

    There are sub-forums and opt-in sections on this forum for such discussions. You aren't prohibited from taking about it, the location in which you do so is what is being moderated. I'm not going to continue to hold your hands and walk you guys through figuring this out, I have explained it several times already and there are many threads dedicated to the forum rules where these exact questions have been discussed ad nauseum. Figure it out.

    i am relatively new here so i hope it is understandable that i am still on a learning curve. if i understand you correctly rye, you are saying if something has the possibility of turning into an argument then it is not allowed in this secction of the forum? so what section of the forum is it allowed in? everything here has the possibility of becoming contentious i would think.

    so it is fine with me if you just move this to where you think it belongs. i started this thread and it has been informative for me and i have enjoyed the input of the other posters. i don't read anything so far in the thread as being argumentative or insulting. i really don't think it is my responsibility to move this to another section and wait to see if you will approve of that or not. can you just move it to where it belongs? you don't even need to tell me where because it makes no difference to me as long as we can continue the thread as long as there is interest in it. thanks!

    :meh: Go back and read my last post carefully. Understand that long time admins and moderators have seen 10s of thousands of threads and 100s of thousands of posts and can pretty reliably predict the direction any given topic will go and what types of posts will derail them. We see things you don't and understand the flow of online conversations much better than you. Just follow the guidance/requests posted by forum staff.

    Here is the section for topics/posts that are political/religious/clearly controversial AND have nothing to do with the Philippines or Dumaguete:
    https://dumagueteinfo.com/board/forums/controversial-subjects.11/
    Don't have access to it? Follow the directions to opt in.

    If you have a question or concern about form rules or something posted by forum staff start a new thread in the correct sub-forum:
    https://dumagueteinfo.com/board/forums/forum-announcements-user-feedback.12/

    Why the need to be so negative - the poster may have been describing his experience in comparison with yours and that does not mean accusing you of anything.

    In where you live and how you write here, you do show similarities to Osodelnorte (?an ex member) - are you related?

    ah miss caranoche, i am rushing to reply to your post and delaying my dinner to do so. i am not calling you a liar, but perhaps misinformed, perhaps the victim of poorly trained hospital employees or more likely students or perhaps having expectations that cannot be met.

    i am not a fan of american healthcare. i started there in a small country hospital as a radiology technician and over the next fifty years worked in that capacity, some lab technician duties, a first responder, an orderly, a hospital administrator in both large and small hospitals, a long term care administrator and finally as a registered nurse.

    with the exception of government functions, nothing is as convoluted or confusing as healthcare (IMHO). it is easy for me to presume you are a victim of that.

    this is only the second time i have seen the worl "liar" in print here. ("idiot" a little more frequently) i personally discourage raw emotion here. hopefully we can see a bond in our common status as guests here. i have been helped a lot by advice here and try to offer help when i can.

    i have to guard against letting my blood get up sometimes here, but i always try to relax, take a deep breath, and accept the fact that none of us are going to change anything as one of the posters recently reminded me by posting a picture of the world before and after i voiced my opinion. (no change could be see in those before and after pics)

    so, please take a deep breath, allow me to apologize if i left the wrong impression with you, and lets start over!
