1 month ban cause... biblical saying?

A one pointer for such a comment seems unduly harsh IMHO - though I do think you were merely trolling for responses.

I think some people need to realise that not only are such comments in poor taste but indeed so are threads of that type. Many of us, including myself, don't "support the troops" or the war and thus cannot logically support those that go to take part in such illegal conflicts. There are two sides to every war, in supporting/condoning such threads the .org is, perhaps unwittingly, taking sides (or at least appearing to do so)?

Personally I think somone needs to inject a negative comment into such threads, if only to show how hypocritical they appear. Without different perspectives on such issues, then what point is there in the backroom? In all cases I think staff should try to remain impartial rather than resorting to the "we have members who serve in the military" argument.

There is another post in the thread where the poster encourages the "killing of extremists". Personally I find this sentiment absolutely abhorrent.
