Everyone,

This is the second political-leaning posting to the Squeak list in as
many days... Issues like this, when discussed on mailing lists have a
tendency to make good people say stupid things, and flame wars start,
and in general results in a lot of bad community feelings.

I really don't want to see our Squeak community torn apart by the
strong positions that people have on political and religious issues.
If you're a Squeak programmer, I don't care what your political or
religious beliefs are. I don't want to talk about them or even read
about them. In person, sure. On the list, no way.

Let's just not go there...

Later,
Jon
