Tuba, can you be more specific, please?

[Bricker]

I adopt Jodi’s comments wholeheartedly. Tuba’s reaction was commentary, not moderation.

But of course, that’s entirely permissible. No rule says mods and admins can’t close a thread for commentary, or for purposes of taking a side.

Let’s call a club a club, however.

**There’s a lot I’d like to say, but I’m struggling to follow Tubadiva’s strictures not to discuss the war. I can see that it is deeply personal for everyone in the thread but me. My father’s war was Korea, not Vietnam, and I had no relative lost in the war. I was only a child, so I was not even aware of the issues at the time. I was too busy fingerpainting and taking naptime to protest.

I will say that protesting the government’s policies can be the highest form of patriotism, so long as it’s done by the loyal opposition.

and FTR, Elucidator was the one who invoked Godwin’s Law, not PLD. **

Aw damn, I didn’t mean don’t discuss the war.

I did mean don’t fight it all over again here.

Discuss it, debate it, argue about it, fine. Don’t step over the line to abusing one another over it.

It’s like everything else on this board, there’s limits to everything.

And do not pick up the same fight I closed in this thread.

You want to start another thread and discuss this issue rationally, be my guest. If it gets out of line, we’ll close it again.

Whatever you do, don’t mention the war. I did once, but I think I got away with it.
