OT: People just can't seem to keep themselves from getting in their little pro or con digs wrt to GW and that is what makes the topic so toxic on almost any board that is not expressly set up to discuss such issues.

Rather than lighten up, let's try just plain refraining from even attempted humor on the topic -- the sooner everyone drops it completely, the sooner we will all be free from the temptation to get our little digs in, knowing that no matter how clever one is in one's own mind in making the little digs it won't change anyone's opinion while imagining they score pts. with the people they just KNOW agree with them and take glee in also knowing how it ticks off those who disagree possibly provoking them to cross the line in their response/reply and "get in trouble" -- oh how clever these posts are walking an imaginary fine line... not..

IMO, breaking the spirit of a clearly state rule is the same as actually breaking it, but that's just me and I'm sure I'm in the minority.

I wish I hadn't forgot to turn the ignore function on before reading the board tonight... in my defense, I am a new subscriber and am still learning my way around some of the features unavailable to me before... back to ignore... goodbye...
