<< "If you are merely meaning no demonizing of public figures over their personal sexual choices--then I agree." >>

First, let me note that those were Laz's words from an earlier thread header here. Second, my decision to post that was somewhat related to the above quote.

AS had been repeatedly warned by Laz about his sick penchant of falsely accusing conservative politicians of being gays, lesbians, drug abusers & worse. I'm not sure if others did likewise, but it led to Laz changing the thread header banning the topic.

I cited the passage because I knew that AS was mainly responsible for Laz invoking the policy.

As long as I am moderator, I will tolerate the topic as long as it is clearly reality based & is not used to demonize or disparage a persons sexual preference. Once can be vehemently against homosexuality, ET AL, without attacking or disparaging them.

No, Bill didn't have to prod me. It wasn't a tough decision to make. This is my 2nd favorite thread (OK, I'm biased - I like mine best <gg>). This thread has plenty of level headed regulars. I'm sure they'll let me know if I am too tough or too lenient.
