What Make Television's Chris Wallace A Sacred Cow That Cannot Be Discussed?

Chris Wallace disses his father, Mike Wallace, on both radio and television and the thread about him is shut off. Why? We are discussing comments he made in the media not in print. It should be appropriate to discuss it here.

The problem, sir, is that you crossed the line from discussion to personal attack.

That is why your post was removed and the thread closed.

And, your questioning this on the board instead of e-mailing the moderators is a rule violation and could result in the owners banning you (if they aren't already considering that for the personal attack post).<P ID="signature">______________

Let me get this straight. Chris Wallace goes on the media with vicious personal attack on his father, Mike Wallace, saying that he needs to be commited and we comment on Chris Wallace's personal attack on his father and that is considered a personal attack. Is that what you are saying? Should we just report the public family fight Chris Wallace started in the media and not define Chris Wallace action and words? I see many comments on this site about individuals. My only observation was that Chris Wallace acted like an ungrateful son who really owes his career to his father, Mike Wallace's fame and support. Sorry, if that comes off as a personal attack when it is only my observation.
Thanks

The way you phrased your comment was construed by several people as being an attack on Chris Wallace. Upon review, I agreed and removed the post.

The next time you question a moderator's actions in public, instead of via e-mail as the rules require, the owners will be advised. I find it ironic that the same person who practically demanded (on Ask Radio-Info, where such things are on-topic) that rules against personal attacks be enforced, then crossed the line himself with his comments here and whines when the rule is enforced.<P ID="signature">______________

First of all, I was not attacking a "poster" only the bad behaviour of a television personality from things he said on both radio and Television.
Chris Wallace is on a station, FOX, the allegedly promotes "family values". I was always taught the Judaic-Christian value to "honor your mother and father and when I heard Chris Wallace being a hypocrite on that issue I called him on it. Sorry, if the truth of my post as I saw if offended other posters but I would think they would be MORE offended by Chris Wallace's word about his father than my mild an hopefully ethical evaluation. Seems Chris Wallace has put his political views ahead of his duty to honor his father.

As to my responding with this new posting, may I suggest that when you close a post as you did with my original post that you briefly post an explanation. My post was not political in nature unless you believe a discussion of family values in which I believe is 'political'. Therefore, your closing the post had no relevance to your "sticky memos" on political posts above.

Not trying to difficult or argumentative but I wonder why you sided with those who complained about the original post when on close reading you would have seen that this was not a discussion of politics.

Peace.
