First, moderating these boards is a thankless task. You’ve done it very, very well, especially considering some of the people are opinionated and difficult. Not you, certainly, and obviously not me. But some of 'em. Wow!

And, maybe there’s been a shift in the policies as I’ve understood them. Looking for some clarification, as I’ve been accused of misreading people before.

“If Ed's outrage toward terrorist offends you so much, why read them? I'm sure by now you're aware of his "style."

As I read this, Ed’s “style”, two examples below, is considered on-topic and OK.

1 - Subject: SDAI-Tech1, you as usual say with wit and art
Just how phucking stupid Bowser really is.
Thanks
Ed

2 - >"If we have to telegraph every God damned thing we do to the press.
All wars are cluster phucks.......we will instead be jacking off in this daisy chain of mutual blame and whining..I am disgusted."

And Lindy’s response to #2, is personal, off-topic and out of bounds.

“Whew! All this at 7:30 am before you've even brushed your teeth??
No wonder your wife is dressed and out of the house already!”

Am I reading this correctly?

Thanks for helping. I don’t think I understand, this truly isn’t meant to be a hassle.
