Pearl Harbor Remembered

[ezdays]

The forum may be heading down a dangerous path here, even though the Lower Berth says "discuss anything...". I hope none of this leaves hard feelings amongst the wonderful folks of Big Blue.

I totally agree, but having been on the staff of these forums and it's predecessors for going on ten years, I see where discussions like this do come up occasionally and usually in a very innocent way. It's somewhat astounding though, that we sometimes see a few people with the same ideology fighting over a word or two that seems to make their concept different than another's. Fighting over political or religious beliefs is a battle that leaves no winners but sometime a few scars. I'm hoping that we never have a discussion here that would leave any scars that don't heal over, or worse yet, hurt someone badly enough that they never recover from the fight and just walk away. A forum like this is like a second family and as such we are always open for discussions on most any "off topic" subject, but one of our greatest fears as administrators is that something gets out of hand where we need to step in and try to get things back on track. We don't like that because we prefer doing more pleasant things, plus we don't want to see anyone hurt of we certainly don't want to lose anyone from our "family"...

Remember, the subject of this thread was to honor those who gave their all so that we may live in peace. Let's enjoy that peace while we can.
