The Museum Discussion list is for the discussion and sharing of information, thoughts, and questions regarding museum topics. I have been on this list since 1994 and every time someone has posted a purely political topic it has led, unfortunately, to flame wars, anger, and disputation. Like any public discussion list with thousands of members there is a wide spectrum of personal opinions. Everyone is certainly entitled to their political, social, and religious beliefs and opinions - there are many other forums online for sharing those. So please endeavor to think before you post on here because the spirit of collegiality can be a fragile thing. Cheers!
