Gee, I don't know if I should love Bee-dubya or hate him for starting this thread.

Martin's right - we haven't been doing a very good job of keeping the peace around here, and Martin's is the first head that should roll. There has been far too much animosity on this site lately. I know it's nice to honor freedom of speech and all, but nice people just don't feel comfortable relaxing here when there's nastiness all around.

I know some people say that we should be able to have a good time standing in waist-deep shit here if we just don't look at it - but that just doesn't seem to be practical.

So, we've been agonizing about it, and haven't come up with a solution we like. I've been doing home-schooling with my 9th-grade stepson, and we just finished the section on the Reign of Terror. Maybe we need a Reign of Terror to bring peace to Mudcat. Pene Azul can be Robespierre, and I can be Marat. Trouble is, Robespierre met his fate with the guillotine, and Marat was stabbed to death in his bathtub by the lovely Charlotte Corday.

Homeland Security?
No, thanks. Not me.
Not even at Mudcat.
