Personally, I think doing something like that is just the same as one of those pyros in California who started one of the fires that destroyed thousand's of homes. Salty lit the match, and sat back and watched it burn into a firestorm.
If the mods want to control the heated off-topics here, cut them off before they start. You're intelligent people, and know what topics will set off the various members here. I know this 'The Aquarium' board is meant for open topics not related to the saltwater hobby. However, if you want to start controversial threads, post a link to that kind of topic on MySpace, Facebook, or wherever there's a spot for blogs like that. Keep letting them start here will end up causing resentment and hatred towards members. Then when someone really needs help with their tanks, the person who has the knowledge to help that person will blow them off. "I'm not helping that person. He's Pro Choice and a baby killer. Let his tank die for all I care."
Well, the thread wasn't locked because of anything I said because I never posted. But as I recall, you made several comments. Perhaps you should put me on your "ignore" list.
