WHile I have no problem with anyone for having a strong opinion and speaking there mind. 
I find it unacceptacle that anyone attack another for a differing opinion.  I have met 
many people like Oddmund who if you did not agree with them, there only response was to 
slip off of there ideological band wagon and resort to name calling.  I was personally 
attacked by this indvivdual and called a redneck because I did not care to hear his 
political pandering.  Good riddance I say.  I personally am very glad he is gone and I 
do not look forward to his return.  I refused to let him run me from the LUG.  But, 
after his attack, I never read anything he posted.
