Diki and others,
this is a clear example of why things are so bad on this Forum.
Someone starts a thread (right or wrong, dumb or clever) and then, all of a sudden, another forumite springs up with a remark like this one (totally off topic), that clearly evokes a reaction from another forumite and... bang! Another thread gone awry and another fine mess...

Is this how we want Synthzone to be?

Why isn't politics banned from this Forum?
Why isn't it reserved to places like the Bar?
What's the point of discussing politics on a Forum devoted to music? Are Diki or Kingfrog hoping to convert anyone when they go on with their endless tirades about Bush or Obama?
I don't think so: we are all grown adults and nobody is going to change his/her wiews because someone posts something on Synthzone.

No, to me posts like this one are more like a knee jerk reaction, something done without much thinking, with the only purpose of venting (resentment, frustration or whatever). It's like someone has had something on the stomach for a long time and then thinks: "OK, let's go to Synthzone; the place is such a mess that nobody will notice if I spew out something"

Think about it, you all.
