In his defense, I'm sure when Cajundaddy started that thread, he was quite sure there was nothing political about it and that he would gain universal, bipartisan support of the assertion that Epstein is a Dirtbag. And he did. Where it started heading for the ditch is where Superman introduced our current President in his "moral relativism" argument. Or, maybe more accurately, that is where it gained the potential to head for the ditch. It was still holding its own as a polite, respectful exchange of ideas, in a most un-PARF-like fashion, for some time after that. So, yes, in spite of your assertion, we can indeed point fingers. It's pretty damn obvious who sent that one into the ditch. And to expect everyone to "see that coming", when posting what they hope will be a non-partisan issue, is quite unrealistic.

Ultimately what I find most disappointing about that whole schlimazel is the very notion that that sort of behavior is acceptable anywhere on this forum. The childish personal attacks leveled by characters like Shaun, George, Beygon, Peteremsley, and others should be grounds for immediate banishment. There is just no call for it and it should not be tolerated. Even in PARF.
