JA... I posted after yours but Gary is the one who started posting politics. Not a good idea in my opinion. It will not help the forum. Moderators are human and have their own view points on the 3 taboo subjects. If the majority of moderators have the same viewpoint on one of the subjects then the post will fly. If the viewpoint is not popular with the moderators then the post will be locked, or deleted at the earliest possible moment.

the bottom line... whatever viewpoint the moderators have will be permitted, and the others won't. Best to keep those opinions out of the forums, so active members will not end up getting banned for their unpopular viewpoint.

For that very reason... I am keeping my big mouth shut from here on out.
