Not a mod, so take this for what its worth. That thread was headed down a dark, dark path, namely politics and religion. Due to the 2004 election, where civil discussion became seemingly impossible, threads that take on a political or religious tone are discouraged. After all, this IS a baseball website, and there are certainly tons of other more appropriate places for that kind of discussion. Yea, the past few weeks has not been fun at all on this website. Civility -20.
