Excuse me. I think this has gone a bit beyond the pale. Your "apologies to
Bush supporters" is not sufficient, without some documentation or reasoning
behind such a blanket, blatant, childish comment. I have repeatedly *not*
posted my personal opinions of Al Gore, because I understand there are Gore
supporters (some quite vocal) on this list and I wish neither to offend nor
to stir up emotion unneccesarily. I think political discussion is acceptable
when it discusses the positions on the issues and possible effects of one or
the other taking office, but I'm getting real, real tired of having my
intelligence questioned, albeit indirectly, by these emotional tirades.

Opinion, listmom?
