By the way, did you happen to see how much abuse that poster (I edited his name out of my post in order to prevent more reprisals) was subjected to for showing a little common decency in front of the carrion-eaters and bottom-feeders?
Both sides get a bit passionate, I think. Decorum doesn’t rule on these threads unless the owner insists on it.
I was told by an old poster years ago that our host once talked about outlawing threads about the war because of their flame wars but was talked out of it or thought better of it. By ignoring the insults and flame wars, I have learned a great deal of history from these threads and a profound respect for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. I respected them before but not with the intensity and background I have now. For that, I thank our host and his wise decision to let the threads remain.
