Thanks Andy, and I'm sure we will always be friends.

The reason behind my post was because I truly believe the spike in political posts in recent weeks was due to the enormity of what has happened within that time frame, not the overall average tone of the forum over a longer time frame. I don't know if Brian (who is also a friend of mine) has been getting flooded with email complaints about BB content, but if he has, "take it outside" should be his response IMO. IOW, tell them to complain directly to those with whom they have a problem, not the administrator.
