Nah! I don't let politics get into my friendships or my interest on this board. Denis, I bet if we all got Starbucks coffee like you suggested last Saturday, we'd be saying the same crap we said on the Wayne-deleted thread; and with even more colorful language at that.
I agree with Jack's actions; if someone doesn't like the topic, don't get involved in the discussion. According to Wayne he was getting emailed about the subject matter, verbiage and other scurilous minutae involving the Bush on TV thread you started, and hence, deleted it because of that.
I for one saw nothing harmful in anything said on that thread, and those who complained surely showed their inability to make decisions on their own to go to another thread. I can see the technical forum, the rebuilding forum and the autox forum being more of "a business forum." The OT forum is the perfect place to let off steam and use skills other than what we know of about our cars. I've learned far more from the OT board than anything on the Technical board. Besides, Porsches get boring once in a while. Humanity is NEVER boring.
I thoroughly enjoyed the thread you started. And BTW, I'd do an engine drop with you any day.
Oh, P.S. I think maybe the powers that be should look into deleting the "New Name for The UN" thread. That's getting beyond Waltons dinnertime talk for my virgin Catholic eyes.
