Mr. N’Haft has not yet breeched the rules as stated. No link in the profile or signature.

His thread rivals Mr. Khan’s for depth and coverage.


The ban-hammer hovers nearby…

Well, I’m stuck in Florida with a brother-in-law who believes Obama is a communist Muslim and who watches Fox News all day.

PLEASE…let’s get some threads going!  I’m willing to talk about anything!

Stuck in Florida…sounds awful.
I’m stuck indoors here, post hernia op, watching Wimbledon on TV for my sins…

Hey, it gave me a chance to write a haiku using the Planck threshold.  That’s just fun times.

At least your BIL is normally 1200 miles away from you.  My teabagging dad is 30 minutes away and sends regular email updates on the treasonous radicalism of Obama.  I began many years ago by putting him on an email filter, the next step is putting him in a home.
