A note from the Rantburg moderating staff
The past few days have been somewhat contentious here at the 'Burg. We've had some discussion behind the scenes about certain disruptive conversations in the comments and whether or not their actions warrant more serious consequences than a modslap. So far, we've not taken any decisions, preferring to hope that the disruptions will subside on their own.
Please remember that we are all here as Fred's guests, and that his hospitality can and will be withdrawn if the hassles outweigh the benefits of hosting a no-registration comments section.
Your humble mods would like to request that, in the spirit of the holiday season and in recognition that we are all a little busy with family / travel/ year-end work issues, all posters strive towards civil, well-reasoned discourse.
In December 2002, several Navy ships deployed to the Middle East, on their way to begin staging for Operation Iraqi Freedom. As the ships left the docks, the PA announced: "Peace on Earth to men of good will. All others, stand by."
Please consider this as you submit posts and comments, and thanks for all your contributions!
