Since writing my last post to Paddlewise I have received a some of what can 
only be described as jingoistic hate mail.  Friends, if it is your intention 
to call me names and insinuate or directly suggest that you are better 
Americans than I am then please keep it to yourself.

Rational and non-abusive comments (even if you disagree) on the other hand 
are always welcome. Calling my opinions "crap" even if true does not 
contribute to rational dialogue.

Cheers

John Winters

John, you are a pot stirrer and nothing more. When you stir the pot you 
should expect to be splashed with what you have stirred up.  If it 
smells bad you only have yourself to blame.

Some are very easily offended -
they just want to pick a verbal fight!

Doesn't this list have a moderator of some sort?

{moderator insertion - Yes, of some sort, but moderation is not done by
reading each post - "trigger" words make the moderator read the item first.
I know I don't have time to preread everything - if you do I've got a job for
you....  I've attempted to snuff out the recent political thread - if 
someone wants the unposted items (currently 6 posts) email owner_at_paddlewise.net 
and you are welcome to them. - kirk )
