Exactly. This is a highly niched crowd - people come here because they're interested in
personal development. This is what attracted me to this site in the first place, that fact that it's niched.
And I don't really buy the argument that we could discipline ourselves to ignore the politics threads. In theory, you could also start putting out links to porno sites and tell people not to click them. And yes, you could construe porn as a part of personal development if you really wanted to (by linking it to sexual health or something).
Of course "personal development" is arbitrary, but there has to be some sort of a limit. No?
