i think that the comment that made you originally post is out of line, and you were well within your bounds to say something (although i think you chose a poor way to say it ). Not sure how many "off-topic" threads you read, but I would say to jump in any time you want. Many of us here have wildly different views, and we manage to keep a level of respect. Just off the top of my head, timmgirvan and Bababooyee and I have squared off in the most heated/at times angry discussions on abortion. We don't agree on anything on the topic. I got mad. I'm sure they got frustrated. Do any of us $hit-talk the others afterwards? Nope. We disagreed very badly over something that made us all a little agitated, yet I'm still waiting to hear if Bababooyee is moving to Michigan so we can hang out for handicapping and beers.

I think that by and large, we're all mature enough to handle those disagreements -- so by all means jump in anytime.

This has been a message from the Off-Topic room ambassador.

ps -- I'm really sad that you didn't even MENTION this, as I believe it was one of my very few, shining moments :

I am glad that we agree! Maybe we are more similar that we thought an hour ago. And yes, the words that I chose to make my original post with was in poor taste, but that just sprung from the irkiness (totally not a word) that I felt from reading the "real war criminal" post. I am glad that now, a few thousand words later.. my real point came out!

But believe me... u dont want me to hang out in the politics forum... I have strange views involved with politics... I can be very far "right" with one topic and very "left" with the other topic.. Which is why I classify myself as an Independant! Haha... my views sure would confuse the average forum reader...

oh yea... your dixie chicks comment was pretty bad a$$
