Doesn't appear to me this morning that anyone is being muzzled. I gladly go on record that I'm not "for" any political discussion on this website, so I try and stay out of it, completely, and just enjoy the reason most of us are here, our pets! It still amazes me that people continue to start up anything in this General section that is controversial because it ALWAYS gets out of hand. Surely there are chat rooms and other boards that were created for the political and religious discussions and arguments. I certainly don't think that was the reason for Pet Talk. Karen has certainly made that clear, over and over.

Maybe everyone will eventually learn that we like each and every member of this board, and we want to share in the joy of their pets, things that worry them about life and health issues, and their happy moments too, not all of which are pet related. That's the way I feel, anyway. Profanity and name calling aren't something that I choose to engage in and I certainly don't expose my child to it. There are children, the age of mine, on this board and I hate to think that they are being exposed to adults who can't control their emotions. If for no other reason, couldn't we just stop this for them?? Please?? I was sharing something with my husband, politically related, from this site, last week, and his comment was that it was a sad day when a Pet Lover's site turns political. I totally agreed with him.
