i look at it this way...

our host build a dedicated room for his friends to air out their political differences. it was a nice gesture and one that i think deserves gratitude for it's many years of availability.

but as much as i try to avoid reading too much into peoples motivations it's kind of hard to ignore a work crew showing up and bulldozing the part of your hosts home reserved for those discussions.

i've never met steve but i think he's expressed clearly enough that he's okay with sharp elbows and expects you to have a thick skin if you engage here. but maybe he didn't enjoy seeing a portion of his creation devolving into the old espn board.

and there's always the circus at p.a. which makes the politics room here look like the algonquin round table.
