Paddy, this forum, amazingly, sets itself apart from other boards in it's civility. I quit an astronomy board once because a Creation/Evolution argument started and probably continues to this day, bad language, threats, and everything. Folks have, including me, held out out their particular life and political leanings on this forum in the confidence that the maturity of our members draws it's own line. Rarely does a discussion get out of hand here, but yes, your concern is valid and I appreciate your warning. I personally enjoy learning of other folks slant on life, as it helps me know them better, relate to their stories, and increases the 'friendship' attribute this board proudly holds. As long as we all don't beat each other up, all is fine. Beater-uppers get pounced on pretty quick here. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
