Gee thanks.
Thanks, OP, now I must be on the secret "Mod Hit List" :R
Just had a very benign post deleted that was neither political or against any members. In fact, I agreed with the OP...
Here's a tip for any Mod reading this: If you are saying to yourself "F-You" as you exercise your omnipotence, you probably should be taking a step back and telling yourself that it is not your responsibility to bend every poster and every comment to your will in a way that satiates your personal views in life..
BTW, I was observing the stupidity of a ban on outdoor campfires on the basis of "global warming" Sure, it pointed out the stupidity of some "gov't" person trying to push it in CA, but it wasn't as thought they were trying to hide their stupidity- they released it to the press.
Maybe that official is someone's B-I-L? :D
