You're not being too sensitive, and you're right, this thread has become increasingly unpleasant lately. There's been too much jingoistic flag-waving, too much on the subject of belief systems, and way too much testosterone-pumping and chest-pounding. I've gotten complaints of feeling intimidated from other members and I expect I'll be hearing more. I don't like what's going on here; I wish I'd said something earlier. I didn't because I recognize that people need to blow off some steam now and then about things that aggravate them and I prefer to cut people a little slack when possible, but this has gotten out of hand, and it stops right now. The rules prohibit discussions about politics and religion/beliefs for a reason, and over the past several weeks we've seen why. So y'all may consider this as a general warning to knock it off, and I mean it. I don't like to get heavy-handed but I will if I have to. So please, guys, step back, calm down, and complain about less controversial topics, okay?
