Should there be a separate political forum?

Your post and poll are inappropriate! It is blatant flame bait
I hope I don't see this again. If you don't like someones posts put them on your ignore list. But do not start a thread about them.

surreal

Well osprey

At another forum I frequent we have an epidemic forum for ultra hot topics.

I think in some ways it detracts from the forum experience in that you have to hop around from the fun to the hot topics.

I rather like seeing everything in one place. If I find a topic annoying then I ignore it or reply to it as I see fit.

Why would you find these topics annoying if you simply ignore them

Then the community forum can be used by those who want to have fun rather than by people who like to pick fights.
Who's picking the fight now, really? If you want to have fun, don't read or post in topics about politics and don't post crap like this.

that seemed a little rude, don't you think? it takes two to argue...or was that tango? anywaysi don't see any reason to make a separate forum either, like it's been said, if you don't want to get drawn in, don't read it.

I'm just giving the guy what he wants - a fight, because that's exactly what he's doing by accusing Theo, shahani and every other liberal member of picking fights.

True but giving him what he may want is probably not the best thing to do.

Maybe so, but I suspect this topic will end up getting closed anyway. I'm just speeding up the process.
