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.
The llounge is a place for fun. We can & do have serious topics - but they tend to be deeply personal topics - like the light a candle thread, or commiserating with a member over some sort of loss, or helping members solve problems. The key point is keeping the interaction on a family basis. Family members can disagree or argue without breaking up the family. The trick is knowing the boundaries. For example, nobody attacks posters in the Vent & Rant thread for whatever topic is being ranted about - you are free to say what you feel and get it off your chest. That's the point!
I too support removing the offending threads entirely. There's no need to keep reminding folk, or exposing new readers, to what we've already decided is too offensive to have here. Sweep it out!
This place is too precious to me, and others, for the humor, good fun, and friendships. As others have posted above, I want to play again here, not fight!
CAKE'S ON ME!! CHOCOLATE!
