better be the right amount this time
LOL. It might be a tad short. I'm still paying off the fine levied against me from last time I made a political comment. :)

* thought bubble * I wonder if Ms Mod's eye twitches every time she sees my name pop up in this thread? But she has nothing to worry about as I'm not completely obtuse... It says so on the internet so it must be true. :)

I can't remember, Mal, if you posted much in the Hot Topics or went there at all, as we know many members did not. Topics that might seem to be fairly straightforward on the surface could quickly get out of hand with opposing points of view, and not always political in nature. Cori's post is a case in point. Rather than deleting the post altogether, Cori's was allowed to stand rather than being immediately deleted but as has been our practice, all moderators give a warning that further discussion will be allowed but if it starts to go into Hot Topics territory, it will be stopped. There have been posters who have attempted to bring hot topics posts back into the mainstream portion of the Board since there is no longer an area set aside for them and we don't want that happening. I'm not saying this would have happened in this instance but all the moderators have had enough experience to see the red flags and try to be proactive rather than reactive in keeping things from getting out of hand. IMO, that is what Tery was doing.
Thanks Ms. Mod. I wasn't truly offended. Just keeping in line with the thread. I may have posted once or twice in the hot topics but mostly lurked as it was funny as hell (and sometimes sad) to read a lot of that stuff. Especially from such nice people here on this board! I guess it's all a matter of opinion really. Free Nelson Mandela!
