In hindsight, the time and place for the political debate is later, after the injured can tended to, the dead can be mourned, and those responsible brought to justice.

Sure there were some bad things said in the thread, but there were also a some apologies. Most people were understandably shocked, angry and frustrated, and did not intend to inflame.

It does take big people to apologize, and the hurt feelings will be healed with time (and a few bowls). Those who continue to incite, should be dealt with by the mods.

Peace
