Am I right?
I'm sure that if you wish to have an exclusively scientific discussion you will find other lists to suit you. I'm sure that scientific discussion will continue here as well as discussions about politics, conspiracies, animal rights and rednecks. As long as we don't resort to name calling, I think all is fair game - even occaisional humor.
My redneck post was simply a light hearted and probably poor attempt at humor caused by excessive boredom on a Friday morning. I'm sorry you found it disgusting or disturbing.
