Steve,

I could say that I'm offended about you having the attitude that a Bobby Sands or any political or religious discussion on mudcat offends you, but then that would be allowing something bother me that does not need to.

Here's a tip to all: When you look at the titles of the threads, IGNORE all the ones that bother you, or confuse you, or that you are just not interested in.

My goodness! How hard is that? What ever happened to tolerance? The Mudcat seems to be founded on the concept that as long as people aren't directly attacking other people, their opinions are allowed. To visit and look around at Mudcat is not forcing you to read the opinions of people on subjects that you are not interested in.

pax yall - Great thread!
