Pete, I don't know, I hate censorship, but as a Moderator, I think our job is to say <img src="graemlins/nono.gif" border="0" alt="[nono]" /> at times and stop a thread if we feel it is getting irate without a specific point.

I do believe in free expression, but for this forum to continue, then there are times when we have to play big-brother. Those people that believe freedom of speech is paramount (as I do), might find this offensive, but unfortunately, I think it will have to be done at times. Wes, I agree completely that agreement and disagreement is healthy and needed, it is when people start to say mean, off-topic and hearsay that we can get into trouble.
