I've discussed this before and will mention it again - plus I'm laid up at home on the couch with severe pain so I may even get wordy ;) If you read this, please read it to the end so you do not take individual statements out of context. POLITICS AND RELIGION
=====================
I prefer that we do not talk politics or religion here. Why? Because 99 out of 100 end up in a forum brawl with name calling and foul language. Is it my intention to limit free speech? Of course not. But there are forums set up for that type of conversation and I would prefer you go there. That said, political discussions do still come up now and again. I don't normally delete them unless they get too frequent, get out of hand, or are generally started with ill-will to begin with. OFF TOPIC DISCUSSIONS
======================
While our focus is old tractors, we are also a community of individuals, friends and in some cases darn near family. We talk about our tractors, then "hey by the way, my truck won't start". I see no problem with that. Again I repeat, we are a community and I care a lot about that aspect of the site. Number one rule about off topics: They should not dominate the forums. That has always been my loudest request. The largest percentage of posts should be regarding tractors. Also, in off topics remember to treat each other kindly. But please, do feel free to talk to each other about things other than tractors. CENSORSHIP
=============
I will delete any and all conversations, tractor related or not, religious, political or not where people are calling each other names or in general acting uncivil. Is it my intention to limit free speech? Of course not. If you walk into any public place in the U.S.A. and start behaving like an animal you will most likely get carted off in the back of a police car. Here at YT I'll just remove the conversation. ;) BOTTOM LINE
==============
We're all here because we enjoy old tractors. But we also enjoy other things and it's okay to talk about them. The politics are heavy right now due to the elections, I understand that. I'd prefer you talk religion and politics elsewhere but if it happens here I'll probably leave it on the forums if it doesn't degrade into something uncivil or become too frequent. AND FURTHER MORE... ;)
==========================
If you do find a thread has gotten out of hand, please let me know. I don't read every one, I just can't much as I would like to. Just click on [expand] and then click on the "Report to Moderator" link. All reports are anonymous, I don't report to others who reported things to me. Have a great day everyone, now back to the couch for me!!! Kim

Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
