While this forum is called Punaweb, Rob's simple rule is "Keep it Hawaii". Although people do occasionally stray into distant territory during threads he seems to only rein them in if they post an entirely non-Hawaii topic or post (especially partisan political rants). When I was teaching a film history class and asked for suggestions someone got their knickers in a twist and demanded Rob shut the thread down. To me, a Hawaii teacher, teaching a class to Hawaii students in a Hawaii school, who asks Hawaii residents what movies they think are truly great was appropriate to Punaweb. Rob did too, because he didn't shut the thread down.
People are the sum of their experiences and tend to draw on those experiences as a way to explain their thinking. If you don't like KathyH's posts, simply ignore them, but the only ones who can suggest a member isn't welcome are Rob and the shadowy operating committee. I think you are still holding a grudge from the thread you started last winter that turned into a flame war.

Edited to add that according to the random group of people at our house last night, the helicopters were buzzing Black Sands, Hawaiian Acres, Ainaloa and HPP yesterday.

Every time you feel yourself getting pulled into other people's nonsense, repeat these words: Not my circus, not my monkeys.
