Frank words of wisdom, unfortunately they probably won't be heeded, but you
never know.

It does seem to me that people are a tad jumpy and sensitive about
things political these days, especially as it seems that the world is
about to become a much more bellicose place over the next few weeks or
months.
There have been a few political references over the past few days that
haven't been well received in certain quarters. Perhaps this would be a
good time to re-consider political posts, ~and~ a good time to
re-consider replies to such posts.
I know we haven't had a flame-war in a while, but things do seem ripe
right now - I can just feel that something is about to erupt.
Not censorship, but self-censorship, is what I'm asking all of us to
consider.
thanks,
frank
