Very small public service announcement on the established Admin policy on the charged topic at hand (established = we've been here before) -
Gun discussion in the Lounge is *generally* ok, just fine.
Lounge = let your hair down, kick off your shoes.
If it's a dedicated gun thread, find one you like if you don't like it - same as any other Lounge thread.
If it's a general thread like this one, modding goes to the majority complaint - because - democracy.
Political statements - we don't expect everyone in a straight jacket, we do expect some comments, we don't expect to step in until it becomes a debate for the political lounge. Most debates we've seen so often that we may speak up early.
Mod policy - enforce Admin policy. Hope that everyone lets a little bit slide one day and gets the respect so that their opposite little bit slides the next day. Hope that everyone self-manages and spontaneously goes to the political lounge for a good, rousing disagreement because democracy is about speaking up on important issues and views.
Why the political lounge?
My personal best answer - for the same reason that to date, no presidential election debates have been televised from a grocery store.
Venues exist for reasons.
"Please go to the political lounge," does not mean please shut up. It means, "How very important, please speak up in the venue we worked to provide - please speak up a LOT!"
The Mod Bedtime Prayer -
"Please let me wake up tomorrow without an inbox accusing me of being to the left of Tinkerbell in one message, to the right of Hitler in the next, and generally getting called a lowlife censor when all I did was try to be the neutral Walmart greeter and say political chat is on aisle 5."
Thank you for your time with this very minor public service announcement.

From 'summer' days with rain and Temps in the sixty spectrum so far, it's going to be sunny and in the eighties today. Yippy! And my two week holiday just started. Not going anywhere. We'll be painting the interiors of the house instead. Walls, ceilings, woodwork. Bah.
A busy and exciting day tomorrow.

Might not be a bad idea. They could set up shop in the wine isle. Right next to where they keep the nuts

I have been installing a version of Wordpress on my laptop for personal journaling.
It has worked well for me, but it does require me to have my laptop out. Also, it means I have to reinstall every time I upgrade operating systems or laptops.
I am thinking about putting it on a thumb drive. If I can get it so I can use either Windows or Linux, I might actually get more writing done.
Last time I looked into it, though (running the same WP database from within Win and Linux), it wasn't a good idea. I wonder if using XAMPP Lite on a USB stick would make it more OS-agnostic.

I saw some future convicts ERR I mean children doing monkey business beating each other up - and then I said to the them in a stereotypical and raspy Chinese Kung Fu master voice:
"While your technique is good..... you lack precision! Now let me show you a thing or 2 about a REAL Kung Fu Master!"
XD
LOL!!!
