It's funny how you didn't address folks being called a moron.
Be fair. Stop picking one side.
If you are to be a Mod then you need to learn how to become Neutral, not one sided.
I notice you are allowed to Insult people left and right without anyone threatning you with bumping them or closing things out.
Politics ALWAYS bring out the worst in people as well as religion.
OH Please, feel free to realize that I was talking about not calling people names in GENERAL.
I think that was pretty obvious. It was a message to EVERYONE to friggin grow up and discuss things as adults. Take your last line to heart. It is pretty clear you are not interested in doing that, though perhaps you demonstrated or accepted in the end that people are entitled to their opinions as you are to yours. You have been allowed to state them, but there is a LINE that is crossed by anyone who takes to name calling, etc. Several people crossed it.
I don't believe that I insult people "left and right."
If you take something in that way, well it is not the intent.
But I will defend myself after what you have said to me! You may not care if people like you, but I care about the "atmosphere" of this board. Can't catch all of it, but all the mods, including me (whether you believe it) try our best to let people speak their mind - but respect others.
And since we could not change the tone (or because the topic is overdiscussed now), and as several people have predicted:
Thread closed.
{edit: I hadn't read this whole thread in detail when I wrote the above.....I was pretty miffed after reading this reply. I see the tone changed later on but still "stand by everything I said??"
I still feel the need to clarify the above. I don't think it was at all civil. I think my point was missed).
