Easyrider,

Look. You are voicing an opinion that is counter to an opinion many of us hold. You are being vocal, clear, and appropriate. Some of us disagree with you strongly. NO ONE is suggesting banning you or making you hold your opinions to yourself. You are using this forum as it is designed to be used. You do not need to defend someone who has gone "over the edge" to assure that this board remains a place where unpopular opinions are tolerated. Please trust me on this. I often represent the Lunatic Fringe on issues. I post a lot. Sometimes I am welcomed, sometimes merely tolerated. I never feel threatened. Reasonable minds will differ. Unreasonable minds, beyond a certain threshold, need to find another venue.
