Yes, but you are neither owner of the site, nor it's only moderator

At the very least, reading someone else's opinion on an issue leads us to more thought and hopefully more research on that issue.... Learning is never a bad deal, and a modicum of respect for conflicting opinions is part of that learning deal too.... (Now who was it that just reminded me of that not so long ago??????)

Indeed, but as we have seen in the past (and the reason why we rarely allow threads like this to exist here), cars and politics do not mix. Feelings get hurt, noses get pushed out of joint, and people leave the forum in a huff. Not only is the counter productive, but it brings the whole forum down to a "us vs them" mentality. When that happens, and people start taking sides in a heated disagreement, nobody wins. Again, so far, this thread has remained mild, as long as it stays this way, it will be allowed to progress. If not, it gets shut down and archived.

All I (and Brent) ask is for people to not embarrass themselves and act like the responsible adults that I know you are in real life.
