IMO...
Personally, I don't get involved in threads that become urinating contests or testosterone slinging fests anyway.

We are all adults here (no jokes please).
What ever subject that is posted in the 'off topic' should be left to evolve or devolve on it's own.
Don't like the thread or the path it's taking?...don't participate.
Thin skin, offended easily by any enthusiastically differing opinions?..don't participate.

If one starts to whine about being offended it merely tells me they are not comfortable in their own belief system.
We all need to have the skin of a snow tire especially if one is going to pontificate on potentially contentious subjects on a public forum.
One doesn't have to respect anyone's opinion or belief system....but one must respect their right to have that opinion/belief system.

Although I'm still new here l would be very disappointed if the Subject Matter Police was instituted because a grown adult is offended or the subject becomes heated.

I've enjoyed my brief interactions on these BIAB forums.

The subject matter along with my perception of the adult conduct in a thread will determine if I choose to participate or not.

I need another cup of mud...anyone else?....I'm buyin'.

That's my take on it....do carry on.
