Ok - my head is spinning here...

Just some observations:

• EVERYONE's panties seem to be in a bunch. Folks - it is the interwebnet. Not worth getting weggies over it!
  
• If ya don't like what a user is saying, you have some options:
  1. Attack. <-- BAD IDEA.
  2. Use the Ignore button. <-- Better idea.
  3. Respond in a manner you would if you were discussing a speeding ticket with a judge. <-- Best idea.
  
• Todd (Nostatic) and I try to moderate this place as best we can, but believe it or not, we both have a life outside of here. While I can't speak for Todd, frankly, I am just sick and tired of the childish atmosphere here. And don't try to blame the mods for the bickering, the personal attacks, and the negative energy around here. We are not your parents, and this is not grade school. If you wish to behave in a manner befitting the local playground, I suggest you surf on over to clubsi.com or some other juvenile website. (No offense meant for serious Honda owners and drivers...)
  
• Rather than complain about the current atmosphere here in OT, make an effort to alter the noise to information ratio. Take action and make a change here.
  
• Last I saw, this is the Pelican Parts Off-Topic forum - NOT the Pelican Parts libs vs. neocons forum. There are far more topics to be discussed here other than politics. Concerned about your upcoming colonosopy? Let us know. Going to that wedding in West Virginia next week? Post up yer picks from the Waffle House! Went on a date last night, which was your last date? Oh wait, nevermind....
  
• It is an election year. The political mud-slinging tends to escalate. And it may get worse before it gets better - how many months till November?!?!
  
• There is a fine line between heated debates and arguing on the internet. Learn to know the difference, and stay on the proper side of the line.
  

Give us all a break.
