Some of the concern comes in anticipation of the posts following
the initial message.  Some folks were set on edge by insulting posts
following Doug's post on collateral damage.  If folks want to be able
to posts trips for controversial events, then *all* need to behave 
responsibly on follow-up posts and respect the feelings of those who
make up the "other side" as well as the original post showing respect
for opposing views in making its announcement.
