Woody, me thinks, is on a self imposed hiatus. He has been popping in since his last post, but has not posted. He is still a member of KFN.
He has been an irritant to some/many/all at one time or another. But KFN is a tolerant forum, and while his commentaries are oft times received as provocative or abrasive, he never took out a knife to cut anyone (that I am aware of). Woody is Woody. I rather enjoy his presence here. His Blog is, in my opinion, amazing. Should he finish the story he has begun, and opts to publish it, even if only as an e-book, I for one would purchase it.
While Woody may have "left the building", the door remains open.

A valid observation. However, KFN is tolerant, and we established the Community Cafe > Social/Casual Talk forum for the free exchange of (almost) anything. We do our very best to not censor here, especially ideas. Unless the topic/discussion is profane, obscene, or intolerant, it is allowed. Any topic of discussion that doesn't agree with ones views doesn't have to be participated in. Should a discussion turn towards personal attacks, it will be closed by an administrator.

This is a sad development. While I seldom fully agree with commentaries posted with a political or religious bias. They are often informative and at the very least entertaining. At work we have an unwritten rule. Never discuss religion or politics and we'll all get along! Actually I'm sure there is an official policy to back this up but... I'm fairly new to the Management side here. Therefore no citations of policy.
Kfan has always been loose in this regard and frankly refreshing. There are enough business only tech sites out there reflecting the soulless nature of technology. Linux users are often referred to as zealots with an almost religious following. Yet legal and political issues strongly influence our developers choices and direction. So it only makes sense that we touch on these topics.
Troll-bait and Flaming of course should be called out for what they are.
