Well said, Paul. Seems like many people are using this tragedy of all tragedies as an excuse to promote their political beliefs/agendas. We have spent a few years on this board trying to eliminate those kinds of comments from either side, and it was working pretty well.

I hope Agora will enforce a policy where those types of comments are treated the same as anyone personally trashing anyone else on this board.

John, the coach at Fresno State became well known by telling to fighting players to ``Shut up and hit somebody!)

Paul is now famous for saying `Shut up and HELP somebody!`

By the way, I do not think that any conversation about the disaster events themselves need to be labeled O.T.. After all, this is the Edig board!

T.K.
