I don't read all the forums here and I am the half-owner of them! If you don't want to read the political forum, just skip it. If a thread bothers you, ignore it. If you don't want to get involved in the politics, don't. What I want to see is a respectful discussion of world affairs. If we don't talk about them, how can they change? How can we come to greater understanding of each other if we're not willing to hear what we all have to say?
Yes, I think it will test some people's restraint. Could be a growth experience. Let's see if we can handle it, and if it gets out of control and the mods can't handle it, we shut it down or try to figure out a solution.
But I do think world affairs and politics belong on a personal development forum.
