My last post to anyone on this cluster****... my initial post was to
complain about turning roff into his private propaganda medium since there
are far more welcoming venues to post that stuff. It seems Muskie has taken
a break or crawled back under a rock someplace and it would be nice to get
away from this political blather. I hear it everyday on the radio, and see
it on the evening news and it would be nice to come to a place I enjoy, and
is very much a part of my life and not have to filter out or delete this
stuff. Base on the replies, I am in the minority on that score so I will
leave it at that. I still maintain that an OT post
in this forum is acceptable, those that don't pit people against one
another as these political rants always do. They have no place here.

good Lord, Allen, I had no clue woodworking got that intense! Seemed a relaxing
outlet to the casual observer.
Thank goodness I hang out in the civilized confines of ROFF!!

Well, not to appear contentious or anything, but having met many
a ROFFian of considerable gravity, I maintain that any one of a
great number of them individually approaches critical mass
regardless of peculiar political, currency, or theological
affiliation. Furthermore, as the Earth exhibits no
perturbations in it's orbit or rotation that cannot be accounted
for by traditional astronomic or geophysical causes, it seems
altogether likely that such grave ROFFians must be more or less
equally distributed throughout all hemispheres on the face of
the globe.......


*laugh*

While I agree that the distribution of _potential_ roffians is more
or less uniform across the globe, not all of them (in Aus. at
least) have availed themselves of the opportunity to become full
fledged roffians by accessing this place.

you GOTTA have enough down your way for a good
set to from time to time. You just ain't tryin', mate.



I could possibly draw some fire from New Zealand if you like ...

.who is not advocating censorship, just take your political **** to the
proper forum.


I dunno, from what I have seen, and I've been here for a while, this IS the
proper forum, so long as OT, political: or the like is preceding the post. If
you don't want to read it, don't. If you get ****ed off, that's ok
too. If people leave, chalk it up to Darwinian evolution. C'est la vie!

It's not any worse than ROFF Tom but it's not unusual for there to be
over 1000 posts a day, how do they do it? They make it up in volume!

Wolfgang
whose political philosophy has been clearly and unequivocally

stated
on a number of occasions.


Honestly, I (who is not assuming to place himself on the "list of

careful
readers") haven't figured out much about your political bent at all.

I've come
to the conclusion that there's left, right, and Wolfgang. Good job!

I admire the
political enigma.


It was never my intention to be enigmatic......well, not about this
anyway. Quite simply, I'm an anarchist.


I'm all for anarchy as long as we have a good leader, but I'd really rather not
get into that "leader" discussion again, what with all the "tapered vs. knotted"
and "my knots are better than your knots" issues. Brrrrrrr! Gimme a good
political debate any day!
