I'm part of a local group of ham radio operators that has a typical club email list. Recently, the president of that group, an elderly gentleman, posted a rather partisan anecdote, which I'm sure you've seen before, to the entire list. This wouldn't normally get to me, but our club is a-political in nature and it's deemed bad form to delve into divisive issues such as politics (and at the same time, we all aren't so insulated from reality that we can't let a little politics slip into the discussion now and then).
He's been moving more and more into problematic territory and this is only the latest of his forays into shoving his views down everyone else's throats. AT the moment, I am new enough to the club, as well as young enough, to get away with throwing a well-thought piece back at him. The other liberals in the group are a bit afraid to speak up. I will not remain silent. :)
