I'm right behind you, Rambi. Before you go off in a huff, consider this. It's business as usual on the BR when, out of a blue, a whole bunch of new posters show up, people who either haven't been here for a long time, or ever. People are talking. Everything's cool. Then one of the new posters comments on the "indecent" folk from one of our sister threads and points out one comment in particular. A debate ensues--some people teaming up with their cronies, but a lot of people being even handed and trying to diffuse the situation. The two posters whose posts elsewhere triggered the reaction showed up to defend themselves/get their licks in. Later, one of the semi-regulars starts fussing about ganging up, which, of course, resulted in more ganging up. A regular tries to settle him down. The next day he tries to settle down one of the new arrivals, using the same criteria. Meanwhile, X and Chris stage yet another revival of their scripted, choreographed war. The regulars yawn. Just a bunch of stuff that happened, IMO, not a morality play. Karen
