Actually, it was the anonymous flamer, himself, the masterful PDOHERTY who came in and inspired a one or two post exchange, not the other way 'round. (The gent has been banned from the JREF boards for approximately fifteen different sock puppets, and has a Jones for the JREF.)
And I wan't inviting you to get into a leftwing peeing contest, I was responding to the silly name-calling posted by the crustacean guy.
Frankly, I read the note from the admins as an admonishment to name-callers all to chill out. I didn't see it as an order to shut up; merely to be civil, which I've tried to do. If you guys have a more stringent view of a mod's action, then I apologize, and we'll let it drop. (I am just a guest and these are your boards, and believe it or not, I respect that.)
But you're welcome on the JREF any time. It's an open group, and I still say you'd be surprised that you'll find a vast array of different ideologies. But you'll find that whatever side you're on, you'll be challenged (as we all are) to provide evidence on your comments and opinions.
