Listen carefully... I won't even address the 'free speech' accusations... this is simply a matter of bringing our house back to normal.

We have allowed great latitude over the past few months, even at the expense of some pretty hard feelings and some hurtful accusations among our members.

Trularin has it right.... don't lose sight of that fact that Brent, Jamo and myself work some pretty long hours to maintain the best Cobra site on the web, if not one of the best car sites out there.

The Lounge is here to allow friendships to deepen among members by allowing non-Cobra talk about life beyond the cars....to build better relationships by giving insight to your family, your pets and other interests...as well as your sense of humor.

It was not meant to be a whorehouse of propaganda and mean-spirited dialog, understandably caused by strong passions of ideology and political beliefs.

Nov. 4 has come and gone. the nation has done what it saw fit. Some are happy. Some are not.

Get past it, get over it.

The old threads will start looking pretty petty as time moves on. That's why they are closed.

At risk of pontificating, there are some pretty relevant things to discuss, going forward, if you are so inclined..

Like fixing a broken economy, winning two wars, and figuring a way to stop pouring our dwindling capital into the Middle-Eastern sand.

In that light, how much Palin's outfit cost, whether the birth certificate had a raised seal, whether one campaign was erratic or another candidate knew old a$$holes from the 60's....

...all that is looking pretty trivial and, frankly, yesterday's news.

It's back to fraternity, and not divisive, name calling ugliness. The moderators will continue to try and keep the dialog off the gravel and on the asphalt.

We want all of you to enjoy it here and we want us to enjoy making it possible for you.
