I figured it would not take long before someone posted this.

Glad you see it as civil.
I closed the thread because the last post of so, were gettings close to crosing the line. It was also closed untill the other staff members could comment.
MOST lounges do not allow threads on politics, which is where this was heading and/or threads on religion, because they usually end up in a free for all.
The thread on religion was not closed on the decision of the other staff members, for now. I totally disagreed with the wording of some of the questions there, such as calling other beliefs "weak & fearful". FWIW, I thought it should be closed.
I will unlock the thread.
Why do topics that start arguments and hard feelings need to be talked about on a reef board lounge? There,s other places for that. Look at all the threads on here. Most are useful or provide a laugh or two.
