I dont see anyone being negative on this thread (yet) clouds

however, rest assured, it too will be immediately locked if it starts to take *any* negative turns

we have guidelines here and they call for LIMITED political discussion and respectful posting between members.
that is why the last thread got locked, as well as because it was taken way off the original topic.
Starting a new thread to continue to rehash what was on a locked one is not ok.

if you wish to discuss the question you asked on race relations without turning this totally political, we will allow it.
If it turns it will be closed.

we really have been very relaxed on this guidelines, understanding the current political climate .........but it is going to be up to members as to where we go from here.

thanks for everyone's co-operation
