Mak, I agree. Neither should be brought up on an aquarium board, except perhaps, in some context,{in good taste}, in the lounge. And my reference was to all, nobody in particular.

As for my views on the Avatars, I was also relating to any of them in general and on most boards for that matter.

My post was an over-all personal view of incidents such as this on various boards and the exodus of posters because of it.

And no, I dont wish anyone to leave. I was asked to help moderate for my experience, to expand out east, and to help increase member ship, which is one reason for relating my experience,s on other boards.

On a personal note, I agree with your first two comments. Believe me, I know what your saying. And as I said, I see no problem with talking about some of those views in the lounge, as long as it does not get out of line.

But there is no need for its steady reference in the reefing forum.
