FROM THE LIST-OWNER - Stop With Gay Marriage Already!

[Guest guest]

Folks, I'm rather disturbed by the amount of bitterness and rancor flowing

back and forth in this thread. Since there is no conceivable relation

between the issue and the purpose of this list, I'm asking you to think

long and hard before sending any more posts on the subject to the list. I

will be emailing somebody offlist, too, and to lead by example, I will

refrain from responding to 's response to me. I'm not ready to shut

down the discussion completely (far from it) but unlike past political

discussions, this is getting serious.

Also, I would like to point out that ALL of these messages after the first

few should have had the POLITICS tag.

can we continue discussing it if we're not bitter or rancorous?

Yes, provided that you refrain from responding to bitterness and rancor and

thus drawing it out (as I said, I'm also dealing with this offlist) and

that you make sure to include the POLITICS tag.

Unfortunately, this is a hot-button issue, and if the discussion continues

as it is now, it'll hurt the ability of the list to attract and help people

interested in nutrition.
