Re: Missing from TOV forum

zman asked what I thought was a legitimate question for which I provided my reason for not posting as much as I used to. And I defined it as my reason only. The fact that you didn't like the answer does not change it. And I never said one single word about threads becoming "chatty" as that will happen on any forum and something I can certainly skip very easy. As to the health care thread, I used that as an example only. To validate my observation, In less then 5 minutes this morning I again found 23 threads that were in other then the political section that were filled with political statements. I am sure there are many more.
I believe you created a political category so that those that wanted to post their points of view would have a place to do so. And that also allows us that want to avoid their views to also do so. However IMHO when they chose to not be satisfied with using only that category and using every opportunity to get their political views into any thread possible, I view that as becoming a political "rag" That is what I meant by "pushing their point of view" by not posting political statements in the political area. And for that reason I chose to stop posting here. Because when that happens I can't easily avoid it.
I still think it is a great place for information about TV and I will continue to use it for that as I am sure others who may have stopped posting for their own reasons do as well. I also believe there are a lot of really great people on here with lots of great ideas and information. I could have chose to take issue with all those posts and created a maelstrom of posting, or as I decided to do, minimize posting. Gives me more time to enjoy life anyway and I don't need to take a chill pill.
