There have been a few political threads that have popped up over the last few days and they have been deleted. They were rightly posted in the off-topic category, and we appreciate that. What's difficult is the topic... the war, Bush/Cheney, WMD's, etc.

There will never be a solution that will make everyone happy. There are a gazillion opinions on this topic and most of us (regardless of our opinion) think we are right. And, as I've said in the past, this always has lead to people getting ticked off and leaving this forum. To me, it's not worth it and hopefully you guys understand why I let this stuff go for about 24 hours and end up shutting it down. Debate is healthy. Name calling and trashing political figures - and later EOC members - is not.

Taking jabs at me for doing what is best for the EOC is also not necessary, but expected.
