Mike, good points. We thought Jindal’s comments were relevant to OSU stuff and went with them, but it wasn’t 10 minutes later that an abortion debate sprung up and that’s the last thing we want to see on here. We should have communicated that better or even shut off comments for this post ahead of time.

Maybe down the road we’ll loosen that up a little, but being three weeks before the election, emotions are running a little high.

I love ElevenWarriors and think you guys put out the best stuff on the Buckeyes in the Blogosphere. Period. But you can’t post a video that is 4 minutes republican talking points and 18 seconds Buckeye relevant humor, and not expect that some people of differing opinions won’t let it be known. I agree that politics and the Buckeyes should not mix, but I think that applies to what gets posted as well as the comments. I hope this post doesn’t get taken the wrong way or deleted, I just think that if these types of squabbles are to be avoided in the future, then maybe a little more discretion from the 11W staff might be in order.

FWIW, we’ve never once deleted a comment in the past. Not when trolls invaded after each of the last two MNC defeats. Not when Henton got busted trying to buy some love. Never.

This post was the first time we’ve had to do that and we hope to never again, just as long as everyone can remember that we’re all part of the Buckeye party and promise not to inject politics into the conversations around here.

Dear lord, we’re being serious here? Is Ron Paul involved in some way?

Fortuntately, the Whig Party is made up of Ohio State fans. And don’t get these Whigs started on the Browns.

Don’t believe me, go to http://www.modernwhig.org. There is an Ohio Chapter of the 10,000-strong Modern Whig Party.

My comments were deleted, fair enough. Jindal just irks me, and now he’s doing it in more ways than one.

Sorry, I just see that as a story about a guy claiming to have witnessed an exorcism — nothing policy or party-related.

I love how my comment was removed even though el caballo de sangre’s comment and link are clearly political.
