"I even got the Unitarians mad at me once. They burned a question mark on my front lawn"

In fairness, and as a practicing Episcopalian: Why don't Episcopalians like orgies? All the thank-you notes. <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

OK, now that THAT's out of the way....... As one who contributed to the <What Do You Mean, "Not A 'Survivalist' Site?"> page, let me weigh in on all this: To answer your question as to why, well, we like our civility here. All we ask that everyone play by the rules. And Chris and Doug work diligently to keep things civil. We stay focused on the subject that brings us to ETS. It's keeps us coming back. We are all different, and I would suppose that we could all find things about each other that we would find annoying, disagreeable, henious, and contributing to the end of the world as we know it.

Chris and I may not agree on Presidential candidates; others may disagree with my take on this issue or that. Here at ETS, that is not our focus. Want ot argue US Foreign Policy? Try 'Equipped to Diplomat'.

I have alerted Chris to halt threads that seem to be going off topic and into the realm of name calling and invective - even when I have agreed with the argument of the name callers. If one can not be civil, you will be asked to leave. When my son is rude and ill-manered to his sister at the dinner table, he is asked to leave until such time as he can play bythe rules.

My. $.02.
