Miami wants South Florida to seperate from Florida

I agree, that's why I request that they be moved when they turn into arguments better served by PPR.



You keep talking like there is some sort of conspiracy out to "silence" you, but if such a thing existed, and involved the mods as you repeatedly intimate, you'd simply have been banned, that was my point, not the specifics of why.




It's considered spamming, and you have a history of it, it wasn't just the one thread. Basically, you don't get to lob grenades into the forum and walk away from the carnage, that makes the forum sh***y and ruins the experience for everyone else. PPR is a debate forum, and if you're going to OP threads there, you have to actually stick around and defend them, or they're going to start getting locked or deleted. If you want to just post an opinion, you're welcome to do that in any of the threads, you're just not allowed to repeatedly start threads you have no intention in participating in.



It has nothing to do with like or don't like, it has to do with numerous threads attacking a specific point of view that were notably light on content, and detracted from the forum by stirring up unnecessary strife and conflict, when you weren't even intending to argue with anyone, just hit and run. It would be like me posting fifteen 'liberals suck' threads that all just contain a link to a FOX news story, and a one line comment by me suggesting that anyone who doesn't see things my way is an idiot. Again, it has nothing to do with the specific views, it has everything to do with the effect on the forum and the intent behind it, as that is exactly what trolls do to cause trouble on that forum.



Again, you're free to comment in threads, it's the hit and run spamming that was not acceptable, and really, the site isn't for insulting people and running away, which is what a lot of your threads amounted to, regardless of how you want to characterize it.



PPR is a debate forum, when you post there, the natural presumption is that you're there to debate; if you don't want to debate, don't post in PPR, pretty simple. I'm sure there is another website where you can unburden yourself of your need to insult people over political matters and not defend it, this just isn't the place for it.



Imagine an epileptic person on a bus having a seizure, flailing about and hitting people; it's not his fault, but he's causing harm to others, and needs to be restrained; that's the purpose of the rules here, to keep people from getting hurt, even if the ones doing the hurting don't mean anything by it. WP is a support site, but that only goes so far, and supporting your need to belittle political opponents and walk away is a bridge too far.



It does, to a point, you're just past it.



Again, the content of your posts had nothing to to with it, it's the personal attacks and spamming that has gotten you in trouble and resulted in your threads being locked.

Nonsense.

The US Constitution expressly forbids "the creation of new states within the juristiction of existing states".

There was one, and only one, exception ever allowed in US history to date.

A group of angry counties in the mountains of virginia banded together to secede from Virginia as the new state of "Kanawha", and were finnally admitted to the Union as the state of "West Virginia", but that was allowed because Virginia itsself had just seceded from the Union and joined the Southern Conferacy in the Civil War (and breakaway West Virginia was rejoining the North as part of the Union).

Congress had to approve even that.

And any new break up of states would also involve either amending (or atleast somehow overriding) the U.S. Constitution. Which would involve getting a supermajority in Congress.
