Nathan , your pun is understood . However , he is not just a media figure or a TV personality but rather a " political " media figure . Some like him , some don't .

Either way , the point is , when you bring up someone's name from the " political " arena and then call them names such as windbag or bombastic , it creates for an unpleasant and unnecessary situation here on XMarks . Political views / opinions are not discussed here .

It's understood that you meant it as humor , however , you brought up a " political " media figure and expressed an opinion about him . There's no law against that , it's just not allowed on this forum . Those type of comments whether they are pro or con about someone can lead to heated political discussions . That's why anything political is not allowed on XMarks and that's also why XMarks has been so successfull .
