I wholeheartedly agree with this thread.
I would also strongly urge that forumites refrain from discussing politics, except insofar as it is actually and legitimately involved in the discussion of genuine survival/campfire subjects, or matters reasonably germane to our survival/campfire discussions. I am going to try do this. Maybe my newest Lenten sacrifice. ;-} We'll see how well I do.
I also ask the authorities to reconsider the banning Mike. He's blunt. He can be argumentative. But he's straightforward and refreshing. I think he should be allowed to stay.
