<br>
OK, for those thinking about holding off on allstar, don't let<br>
politics get in the way. This is nothing more than a bunch of<br>
nonsense, kids being kids. These people just need to grow up!<br>
Why can't we all play nice in the same sandbox. Seriously guys, this<br>
political nonsense has gone on for way too long, and it needs to stop,<br>
right now.<br>
This sort of political nonsense will turn people away from the hobby.<br>
Go spread the allstar virus, and enjoy it. Leave the idiots behind,<br>
and let them sulk in their little corner. Seriously guys, can't we<br>
just concentrate on all moving this thing forward and work together?<br>
I guess that's too hard to ask.<br>
