Believe it or not, my post occurred just as it was written. I wrote it automatically, then realized I had used the "O" word, was going to delete it, but decided since my intent was not to be political, merely stating my alternative, it would not offend. Guess I was wrong.

I remember when the rules changed, they changed during a period when I was absent, I came back briefly, then was absent again for much longer, so my memory may be flawed, but that's how I remember it. I know I was not involved in whatever occurred to cause the rules change (although I may have misremembered that also).

Then out spoke brave Horatius, the Captain of the Gate: "To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late; And how can man die better than facing fearful odds, For the ashes of his fathers, and the temples of his Gods,"
"Well, John Henry said to the Cap'n, "A man ain't nuthin' but a man. But, before I let that steam drill beat me, gonna die with my hammer in my hand, Lawd, Lawd, gonna die with my hammer in my hand."

Your reference isn't "offensive" nor did it offend. It could have served as a jumping point to engage people in a debate on the topic that could have devolved into a flame-war, as historical incidences have proven. That is baiting.Deleting the comment was a preventative measure.
