Dennis,

You know, we feel like real heels to have to
tell people not to discuss the war or review stuff
like this.

This is the problem....

While we realize this forum is mostly full of
individuals who are able to carry on intelligent
open-minded debate, there will always be a small
minority in this vast membership of 35,000+ who
will certainly attempt to turn such debate into
something ugly.

This forum is read by people all over the world.
We have members of different nationalities, creed
and color.

Somebody is bound to be offended by such a review,
or will take that review and turn it into a discussion
of the war effort -- something we do not want here.

The unfortunate part of being a forum as huge as
we are where everyone is not as tight as smaller
forums is that people quickly lose respect for each
other's opinions. This is the reason why we had
to create strict guidelines on this forum. The
larger you become the harder it is to moderate the
interaction.

I guess what I am trying to say is that we are
really trying to avoid this sort of subject matter
and I hope the reasons I have given help explain why.
