There are a few people in this thread without their full name.

The one you are referring to is special and doesn't have to reveal his name in these discussions.

Dewey make every participant in this thread put their full name in their post? If you're going to say something that imPacks others, I think you should.

I'm not sure exactly what you are saying, but if you are saying that I need to say who I am referring to, yes, I am referring to packs.

No, I already knew who you were referring to.

He's exempt from having his name in posts. I already fought that battle and lost.

I haven't seen him post anything inflammatory, but why do you say he's exempt?

He isn't exempt and tries to not get into a place where he has to post his full name. I pm'd him again this morning with another informal warning. He said he won't post again in the thread or post opinions that will need his name. He and I have had that discussion before too. Some folks just don't want their name out here. It's their choice as long as they abide by the rules. So there you have it....but the easy and short answer is no one is immune to that policy. It's been that way for over a decade now..

..I should add that the rule, by its own nature, can't really be black and white. It is fairly subjective but the litmus test for me, usually, is if someone said that in my direction would I want to know who they are? The bar is low as I usually want to know who is throwing jabs, debating or arguing with me.

Congrats to the Wash Redskins for showing respect for the flag and anthem

Not to sound like a crybaby, but I wish there was somewhere I could go in this day and age where I don't have to have politics shoved down my throat 24/7. I listen to sports radio - it's all politics and hardly any sports talk (WEEI in the Boston Area being a prime example), social media - nothing but political arguments, chat boards the same thing and then of course television. It's nothing but Obama this and Trump that, even on websites and other media that have nothing whatsoever to do with politics. I once saw two guys fighting like rabid dogs about Obama and his policies a few years ago on a frigging Star Wars website. I know it's important and sometimes to the point where our freedom is at risk, but does it have to all the time? I just once would like to have a day where someone talks about a vacation they went on or a great meal they had or an anniversary or a grandchild's first birthday or how great the weather has been. Life is short enough without being pissed off and at war with each other all the time. I wish the whole country could just take a break for a week, celebrate the blessings we have in common and enjoy life. Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part or the weed talking?
