I could be wrong; that's just how it seemed to me.
I'd rather see that thread moved to political than see a renaming of the Political Forum, which never fails to be political and often fails to be civil.

I couldn't let that erroneous statement go unanswered. Since my rather late in life interest politics, I have visited many political forums around the net. There is no comparison. This is the most civil by a wide margin. Most of the politicals are not very well moderated and you would have to post the most outrageous things to even get a warning.
Most of them are like Dodge City and anything and everything is fair game including name-calling and vulgarities.
