Enough is enough on Purple Heart

I think we all agree that this box was not meant to hurt anyone but in all
honesty if you really think about the people who have received the TRUE
purple heart for service to our country you will agree that such an honor
shouldn't be made light of. No one is trying to take this award away from
anyone, let's keep it going, it is a great idea but personally I think the
broken compass or purple band-aid is more appropriate and a lot funnier too
which is kind of the idea behind this award!
I am sure when this was created the last thing on anyones mind was starting
this kind of a battle. As for the word ignorant being thrown out there,
quite frankly YES there have been a few ignorant statments posted but if we
look back at past battles that have shown up on this list those same people
are the ones who seems to love to add fuel to the fire battle after
battle!!! Let's take their statements for what they are move on and let it
go!

This list should be used for posting new boxes, informing people of the
condition of their boxes, telling others of exceptional boxes, funny trail
stories and yes the occasional opinion! All this bickering is getting way
out of control!!! I am sick and tired of hitting the delete button over and
over to get all this craziness out of the way!!!! We have gone being a fun
little "Secret Society" to every other week having bickering match! THIS IS
A FUN HOBBY PLEASE LET'S KEEP THAT WAY!!!
