At times there have been topics that initially were general, easy going qustions or opinions and took a turn somewhere along the discussion. Sometimes they'd leave a bad taste in some peeps mouths...sometimes they'd be cause for a few peeps to leave the boards "forever". But for the most part, when calm was called for either by the thread particpants or the power holders at Pixies, everyone took a step back and let the thread die off.

Personal opinions and beliefs are just that...personal! There are the few who want everyone to think and believe as they do because they cannot fathom that while their ideals and beliefs may be right for them they may not fit into the lives of everyone.

This issue has been discussed here at Pixies before...whether to NOT discuss something for fear of starting a battle. I think it's been settled that this particular forum is a "general" forum and most anything can be proposed.

Ideally, what we all have to keep in mind is that we have a choice to open a thread and participate or leave it alone and participate only in the threads we choose. If we do participate we should handle it in a mature manner without name calling, anger and threats toward any Pixie member.

In a nut shell Jax...RUN IT UP THE FLAG POLE AND SEE IF ANYONE SALUTES!

P.S. Might I add that it was very nice of you to ask about the potential problem first and we should all bear this thread in mind should we, indeed, get our feathers ruffled by future topics from Jax!
