   At the moment I don't have time to read all of rasfc and mark lots of   
   posts as read. I saw the start of this thread, realised it was heading   
   off topic, but as I didn't have time to comment at the time, I just   
   hoped it would die away or mutate. It didn't, therefore I backed Tina's   
   request that it be moved to misc.

   I'm trying to make time for rasfc now we have a mechanism for taking   
   controversial non-writing related stuff into misc. I'm happy to join in   
   the hunting debate over there, but not in here. I'm sorry that this   
   system isn't working for you, but that's what was agreed.   
      
   I don't think Tina meant to imply disagreement with your viewpoint and I   
   don't disagree with it either, but the thread was showing signs of   
   rising heat and therefore was not appropriate where it was.   
      
   Hope this clarifies things.
