EBOLA thread Should it be here or in the pit POLL

[gray wolf]

The Ebola thread was here in our town and has been moved to the PIT.
The thread was to keep people informed of the dangers and the spreading of this deadly outbreak now in the U.S.

Some people have gone through great pains and spent a lot of time trying to benefit cast bullet members and keep them informed of not only daily, but hourly occurrences. Not for there benefit, but for yours.

For some unknown to me reason it has been moved.

I think it should be up front and any and all information helpful to saving even one life should be available to all and not buried in the pit.

how do you feel ??

Tried to make this not a public poll but didn't find an option to do that. If a mod knows how to make it a non public poll, please do so.
Comments are still welcome even if you don't vote.

I believe the lnformational aspect of this thread should be in Our Town. Members here just need to keep their political views to the thread running in the pit, first posted by Artful. I understand certain members avoid the pit and its politics, so the posting in our town should pertain to information and accrued knowledge.
Thanks Wise Owl for starting that thread.

Just shows how ill prepared those who get paid big $$ to make decisions are when the SHTF. Idiots in charge.

[Blacksmith]

The thread was oriented primarily to information and to links to other sources and was helpful. Delete or move and admonish those posting overtly political comments if necessary but the issue is to important to be buried in the pit where many can't read it.

Now I need to venture into the Pit to find it.

THIS. Some people feel the need to grind their political axes on every rock they find, but that shouldn't be allowed to turn a public service announcement into a topic for the pit. BRING IT BACK, please.

Rather than wasting time clearing out posts, why not start a new non-political Ebola thread to discuss sanitation, protective gear, and hotspots. Due to the inherent political basis of the Ebola virus in the United States I wrongly assumed that the thread was in the pit in the first place.

The ebola thread should be here. If anybody posts political stuff in it give them some demerits or something.

This is what I believe also.

What does this have to do with the question asked in the poll?

Because someone will hijack that thread too and off to the pit it will go unless the mods warn the people who hijack threads to layoff.

[fishhawk]

There were two Ebola threads and I gave up on both of them. Even without the political rants, they just seemed like a competition to see who could the scariest scenarios.

Yep.

I don't see them as a public service. I have little fear - virtually none - for Ebola.

I fear scared people in large numbers. I believe the thread served to stir up the latter more than it helps ward off the former. I may be wrong, and don't intend to argue it here. My opinion is stated, and I have little else to say on the matter.

Agreed!

Keep it here so people stay informed. It is hard ot not be somewhat political when talking about the CDC and FAA and the person who oversees both of them aka Obama. But stick to news not personal opinions!

[Ithaca Gunner]

I voted, it belongs here. It's too important to be regulated to the pit. I feel it's important enough to be cleaned up if nessary to keep it up here for all members to view.

[TXGunNut]

Glad it's back, I don't go to the pit. Folks need to know what's going on. This is a serious matter but mass hysteria among uninformed people could be worse.

Well, neither one of you have a dog in this fight at the moment, so you can afford to sit back and convince us how brave and non-worried you are.

When you have grandkids in the same school that some of the quarantined medical staffers who cared for Duncan have their kids, please feel free to pipe back up and tell us all about how it's a non-event and people are just trying to scare each other.
