"I hope one thing you guys learned was to be more tolerant and gentlemanly (or ladylike), respecting everyone's view regardless of their race, religion or national origins." That was the whole point of the OT before it was shut down.....we were tolerant enough to discuss things we disagreed with others on.....and accept that some people had different views (hell I even changed some of my opinions after hearing other peoples views on certain subjects)..... Shutting down the OT and letting the personal attacks on the OT posters shows a good amount of intolerance for differing opinions.
