Ken, honestly. This article linked by Stockman Scott violates your rule against conspiracy theories. Message 18645275 Regardless of whether Scott agrees with the things in it or not, he wants to re-open them for debate on the thread. If that's what you want, I don't want to be here. I don't want to post on a thread where it's acceptable to allege, and invite debate, on whether Bush deliberately caused 9/11, or that Zionists deliberately fomented World War I, and that Hitler was right to go after the Jews in 1933. If a seasoned poster who knew better posted something like this, I'd suspend him, and if he did it again, I'd ban him.

"If scott finds good stuff to post here, what the heck do I care if he thinks his other acquaintances might also enjoy the material? Beats me... My only concern is what goes on here -- that's my "check it at the door" policy you have heard me mention a number of times. This has been an important mechanism for bringing together people who have had very serious issues with each other on other boards. I've tried to 'insulate' us from the turmoil outside. And, why lose a well-meaning, hard digging, poster to a pigeon-hole?" I've had the sob on ignore for months. Sure helps wade through the posts here ( and on other boards!), which are usually very interesting and informative. But the "ignore" function is very helpful.
