My ignore list got huge, then DU separated the combatants away from GD and into their own forum.

I see DU has done that for this conflict, also. It's very wise of them to do it quickly.

My only side is the one where the non combatants of any age or sex are located. I mourn their deaths on both sides.

Mostly, I want the slaughter to end. Enough, already. It's time to dump leadership with bad policies and listen to people who recognize the humanity of the other side and will work with them to develop better policies.

Allowing a bunch of men who have been hanging around like farts in a phone booth, feeding on rage on one side and fear on the other, to keep controlling things will lead only to more of the same.
