It's not just my idea, Dip. I realize that the LuLa powers that be intended to balance the moderatorship with two guys more or less on opposite sides of the political fence. But The Coffee Corner didn't start out as a forum for outrageous political opinions, though that's what it degenerated into. If you think it's okay to have a moderator jump into every subject with strong political views then I'd guess you haven't been long on the web. Yes, there are sites like that -- designed to be like that. But LuLa supposedly is a site about fine photography.
And to any moderator who'd shut down a thread because he feels threatened by it, I'd echo Truman, with whom I often disagreed but whom I always respected: "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen."
