I couldn't even read this whole thread. I hope I am wrong."

People, this is precisely why I have objected so strenuously to political and religious discussions on this forum

Believe it or not, there are people on this forum who do not happen to share the political and/or religious beliefs of (what appears to be) the vocal majority of posters on this forum.

I think everyone's beliefs and convictions should be respected here.

And when people who don't believe as the apparent vocal majority encounter threads like this, they must be very intimidated and might even feel that they do not "belong" on TE.

Which is sad and unnecessary.

This, people, is why I stand firmly on my opinion that politics and religion do not belong here.
I would normally agree except for the fact that this is an exceptional election for both sides And being calm rational adults i don't see any harm in celebrating. But I am sorry if this hurts anyone feelings. There are a lot of hurt people out there right now and I feel for them. Sorry again if this upsets anyone. We can stop now if that would make people feel better.
