A request

Folks,

I'm usually pretty up for most OT stuff here, but I think we've gone over
the edge just a bit with the political stuff.

No one's fault. It just happens. The one truth is that NO ONE here will
benefit from it being here on RAS. Period.

I think Mitch's initially good-intentioned post on memorial day was just
that, but it got taken down the wrong paths.

I say let's move on, and get this back to being a great group about
SimRacing and related things.

There ARE better places for the political chit-chat. For reasons I'll never
be able to comprehend, alt.guitar.amplifiers has become such a group.

As always, thank you for your support

Quite agree Larry. Whilst it may push the postings up it is getting hard
to spot an on topic post.

I take on board Mitch's valid comment about responding to obvious trolls
- even if my response is likely to be the world's funniest joke

Cheers

Yes, far be it from Mitch to deliberatly post something to bait
somebody into the same old fight

And your contribution to RAS is what again Art? Sitting on the sidelines
sniping at me?

Hypocrites (and riders of a Socialist Government gravy train) can be so
annoying.... Like a gnat buzzing around my face...

I wonder how the Canadian Taxpayers feel about you spending your days on
RAS? Maybe that is your job I dont know or care...

Only two lines of work available in Canada now anyway. Working for the Gov
or growing weed LOL...

From Outlook Express' Help menu :

To ignore a conversation
In both mail and news, you can ignore, and even hide, conversations that
don't interest you. A conversation is an original message and all its
replies.

In your Inbox or newsgroup message list, select the conversation you
wish to ignore, and on the Message menu, click Ignore Conversation.
If your message list's Watch/Ignore column is turned on, an ignore icon
will appear next to all the messages of an ignored conversation.


To hide ignored messages so they don't clutter up your message lists,
click View, point to Current View, and then select Hide Read or Ignored
Messages.
Selecting Hide Read or Ignored Messages will hide messages you have
read, messages you have ignored, and messages you have both read and
ignored.

Tip
If you want to hide ignored messages, but wish to keep your read
messages visible, click Hide Read or Ignored Messages as instructed
above, and then click View, point to Current View, and then select
Define Views. In the Define Views dialog box, click the New button. In
box 1 of the View Editor, select Where the message has been read. In box
2, click the words Show/Hide and select Show messages. In box 3, give
this view a name, and then click OK.



I just select a thread and press 'i' in Gravity. Gone gone gone gone.

Oh come now. Isn't Mitch's initial post ending with...

"Flip off a liberal today and earn extra points"

....an obvious path to doing what he has frequently done to incite
political debate with his right wing drivel?

Well fine. I for one appreciate the opportunity to speak for the liberal
democratic (not Democratic) values of justice and equality for all that
America was founded on.

I can appreciate the sentiment that doesn't want to hear political
discussion. But no one in r.a.s. needs to read anything they don't want
to. I fail to see how off topic subjects detract from sim content.

A core problem with American culture has been to treat politics as a
dirty word, along with the attitude that ALL politicians are crooks. If
we don't get over that soon democracy will fail and fascism will win.

Bring it on Mitch.
