Hi Indy: As I recollect there were only a few bad apples. Perhaps the forum could have been saved if Admin dealt with them , a three strikes and your out rule would suffice . As I recall, and from a micro view we had far more posters who offered some very interesting point of view. From a macro view there are far too many people organizations etc stifling free speech.

How can we solve our problems if we do not have a venue in which we can speak freely. Debate is quickly becoming a lost art. today's college educated, thanks to their universities, believe that name calling is their argument.

Sorry, I momentarily went off script
