Thanks & Welcome steve321

Dear admin!

I read these words at the section concerning posting articles at this site; "Submitted material must be original. Inclusion of outside copyrighted components must be of acceptable fair use. We cannot host articles about overly controversial or political topics, especially those that may be seen as offensive to any particular culural, ethnic or religious group."

You see, I have a few problems with this particular sentence; " We cannot host articles about overly controversial or political topics, especially those that may be seen as offensive to any particular culural, ethnic or religious group."

I just wonder why articles can be deemed "overly controversial", or how one can determine if a topic might be deemed or seen as "offensive" to anyone, unless you are totally "Politically Correct?" And, I have found anyone who actually follows "politically correctness" to be "offensive", and basicaly "controversial" by the very nature of their so called "neutral" or "non-controversal" thought processes, which are in reality designed to restrict speech and thought!

However, I could be wrong?

Then I hope that I will be tolerated reasonably?  I am somewhat controversial, but I do not wish to start fights, or offend by offering false or malicious information.  If indeed I do offend anyone, I will be the first to apologize and condescend!

Red clay, many thanks for your kind response.  Yes I have seen numerous examples of idea, or speech expression on sites deigned to be of a historical nature, and I have also seen exchanges between members become very vehemet and vocal!  But, I just did not want to be the "new boy on the street" that could be vilified for making a statement that was not "politically correct!"

Rate the thread like they do on Historum.com

I have already suggested this to Cyrus in a pm.

Since I am a relatively new member, just what was the "vocabulary" section? What was its purpose? Why was it eliminated?, etc.

Regards,

This is a good one. It is pretty pathetic too. This kind is of advertisement you can get through google.

I'd like to suggest a new topic under "General History". I'd like to see a discussion on Historiography, that would outline topics such as Post-revisionism, History from Below, Public History, Overseas History and mapping the discipline of history over time, from Herototus to womens movements to present-day environmental history.
