For my 2 cents: there is no place here for blatantly political or religious posts - yes, it's a judgment call for the mods - but should be enforced. People cannot discuss their patriotic or religious feelings rationally - they are personal beliefs, not rational facts. And they're certainly not a joking matter.

Welcome back! Just congratulated you in the other thread.
For my part I think political, religious and social issues are probably the MOST important things we can discuss and probably the most important thing we must learn to come to terms with and understand and work together about if we are to survive as a species.
I think that (like elfwreck) we should not ban topics or remove threads, but must should certainly enforce the no personal attacks and discuss the topic not the person. We should all do our part to enforce that and help the moderators out, sometimes just a reminder is all it takes. Not that we should all be thread police, but should certainly police ourselves and encourage others to do the same. I'm unsubscribed from a couple of iPad threads today for that very reason, not that I feel I was doing anything out of line, but I'd pretty much said what I needed to say and found myself repeating things and annoying some people.
Thanks for the Cake. I love chocolate!
