I loved your post and didn't take any offense to it - although I might have taken offense to the remark about the broomstick from your future inlaw. I'm hoping someone was just being facetious.

Not a thread to come in and start WHOLE NEW stuff like that!

NOT a thread for little in-groupy smug comments back and forth about the RELIGIOUS RIGHT, the REPUBLICAN PARTY, OBAMA, SOUTHERNERS, how people's attitude is SO MUCH BETTER in NEW ENGLAND WHERE I COME FROM, or any of that!

This is the thread about NOT doing that!!!

What your are saying? All I can think when I see that is a lyric form a song that I doubt anyone remembers: "And I'll never will forget, the day we met, girl I'm gonna miss you"

I love it when someone posts something incendiary and immediately deletes it before they think anybody sees, except that I'm a fucking ninja, man.

what about a brief version of this as a disclaimer before each post? And a warning when someone goes on attack mode?
