C'mon folks -- we know what happens when we start talking politics back and forth. There are discussion groups elsewhere for that -- let's stick to camping. I know I sound like a grumpy old fogey -- but the threads on rv.net are usually very useful, and I would hate to see them infected by unproductive acrimony. This is not censorship -- this is compartmentalization.
I happen to have very strong political views -- but I try not to reveal them here. The same is true in my "real world" neighborhood -- I have some very good friends whose political views are radically different from mine. We don't let that get in our way -- we just stay away from those sorts of controversies.
