It's not that I disagree with the point buried in all this, that it 
was wildly inappropriate to post that here, regardless of one's 
politics or opinion of the war.

I'm just having trouble understanding how someone of the clearly 
exquisite level of taste and discernment you've displayed in 
identifying and making that point thought that responding with a name 
calling rant was any more appropriate and / or would actually improve 
the situation, since of course people will reply, as they already 
have, continuing the part you object to and the offtopic discussion in general.

Take it offlist, whether to each other or as a complaint to the listowner.

So does the NBDL have a championship so Gabe Pruitt, who will surely 
be one of the inactives during the playoffs for the Cs, will have a 
chance at a trophy too?  Anyone watched any of his games there - are 
his stats legit?
