Mike I agree completely with what Neal has said...I also participated some time ago in many threads about islam, muslims, etc. in the general forum. But I got burnt when i saw I was was dedicating my currently very scarce free time to engage in discussions that where not really going anywhere....so I left that GT forum to those who can/want to discuss like that, and i'm still here, at the classics & indie projects forums. Please consider doing the same!
Subsim.com is still the best naval web around and a good part of that is owed to people like you...after all the Gt forum is in fact just purely accesory to subsim.com.
