Bloo - all I'm saying (and one of the two reasons I locked that thread) is that this is a fishing board first. 98.5% of topics are open, including the one on gay marriage, but it must be understood that its one thing to discuss it (on a fishing board) and another thing to end up degenerating into potential cyber fist-to-cuffs on something that is not fishing. In the grand scheme of things, important topics like this, or whether or not to go to war, party affiliations and standing on ones soap box are more important than a fishing board and should be handles in such a way once they go beyond the scope of this site, and this board in particular.
And how I left it on that thread:

Again as for this topic, if someone wants to open it to DISCUSS it, that's fine with me. This psuedo-joking "fag ragging" has no place on this site and is really far off of our reason for being here.
Please keep it clean folks and at least semi-personable. Topics that are truly polarizing, such as religion, gay marriage, can go too far beyond the scope of this site.

The other main reason I closed the thread is that the joking had gone too far for a public section of a website - at least what we try to run. I'm not trying to force what I consider moral or not, just what might - in my opinion - be too toilet humourish or inappropriate when little 10 year old Sally is sitting in front of Dad's PC while he's in the library reading OTW.
There are venues for the nastily crude and humerous that can't be viewed by a pre-teen and a web browser.
Beach - partly my misunderstanding...
