Maybe THIS topic should be moved to the other forum. Any other forum, actually.

I would make my family lemon meringue recipe (tart!) and share if it would help calm things down any.

Then I would highly recommend the Snohomish Pie Company. You can get any flavor you want there.

Is Boston Creme a pie or a cake?
I like cherry pie. Boysenberry is good, too.

My question is, why the hell are folks complaining to the mods so much?
Nothing in A&S (that I've seen) is so abusive as to warrant tattle-tailing. People disagree, sometimes vehemently. So what? I like a stirred pot; otherwise all the scum floats to the top*.
* props to Edward Abbey who originally quoted:
"Society is like a stew. If you don't stir it up every once in a while then a layer of scum floats to the top."

I tend to disagree. He might be dogmatic, but he doesn't seem to be thin-skinned. (as evidenced by his tenacity)

It's just not worth wasting too much sleep over the debate if it's not the ideas that are objected to, but the posters that are being objectionable.
A forum is only as good as it's members. For me, it's teetering on the brink on weather to spend time and effort here or not.
