Uncle Jaque, flame wars don't just happen between liberals and conservatives. They happen between people who play traditional music and singer/songwriters. Between people from different sides of the situation in Northern Ireland. Between people who think the Mudcat should just be about music and those who think it should be about whatever we want it to be.

The one element each of these scenarios has in common is the desire on the part of a few people to get other people stirred up. You don't "stimulate people to think" by backing them into a corner. I guarantee it.

Please think carefully about what you are doing.
