Remember, even in the course of political discussions, this is still Pet Talk, so keep things polite and safe for children to read.

And remember, often something intended as sarcasm can be misread - posts on an online board don;t have a "tone of voice" to indicate sarcasm, or facial expression to do so, so be careful what you type, and if you want something to be taken as sarcasm, you'd better add "meant sarcastically" after it to be sure.
