You're right. It wasn't fair of me to ask that my topic of hot buttons be avoided while we discuss other people's hot button topics.

However, I haven't heard of a good counter-argument about why we should invite political and daily news into this forum, when Steve writes that we should avoid them on a daily basis. Given that I would normally check this forum several times a day, I could be hitting my daily dose on them.

Not all of it, but mainly when I've gotten myself into a political debate.

I've thought about it. My options range from quitting this forum to not using the "new post" button. I'll make my decision when the political forum shows up and see how it goes on.
