Folks, we have been drifting a little too far off-topic a little too often the last few days. Let's all get back to the war before Jim Martin skins my hide :-)

Now, the point of this post is this. I am not gonna spend my time being a referree. If somebody has personal differences or grudges against anyone be advised this is not the place to discuss it. I have just deleted some post and will delete anything else off-topic for a few days, until this latest incident cools down.

I have recieved emails from some folks explaining to me that some of our posters and readers (non-posters) would like to attend the get together in Vicksburg but are actually concerned over whether or not it is safe to do so. Folks, when we project that kind of image to folks what does it say about the way we speak to each other. What does it say about our own dignity.

Sadly then, until further notice I can't allow casual conversation until we all get back on the same page. For those who think they can't operate according to these guidelines please feel free to find another board to rant on.
