That certainly is my preference Jody. Tom is prolific but, on this board, it generally is the same old talking point rephrased over and over. Even if he does bring some link to our attention that may be worthy of a view, his editorializing that goes along with it is cheap and distorted and often demeaning to the opposite ideology.

And you all let him get away with it for just the reasons you began with that his prolific posting keeps things interesting and the posts flowing. Well I long ago reached that line in the sand where I found I could no longer tolerate that spineless disrespect just so there's more to read.

CE, in my opinion, needs to be reasoned dialog and any cheap shots at people's wisdom, patriotism, or ignorance of history needs to move into Flame. As you well know I have no problems taking on anyone in there. My experience has been though that some don't prefer an arena where the gloves are off. They'd prefer to sneak attack in an area where the rules protect them.
