TO ALL:
Folks had best start calming their young asses down in this thread, or else find other threads to peruse while they cool off. I've issued about all the warnings I'm going to before I start handing out "time-outs" in the corner. Not bans just yet, mind you, But I will most certainly start impairing folks' ability to post until they get the message.
It irks me somewhat to have to spam threads on our own damned site with warnings.
Not gonna keep doing that forever.
I'm assuming that most of us here are adults, and can therefore distinguish between an ideology or idea and a person, actual and true. Debate the ideas, but DO NOT attack the person, who is a member here same as you or I, another living, breathing, being.
That is all. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.
