not being able to discuss those things that affect our every day lives, or inform others of the pluses and minuses of local, state and federal issues is no less a need as where to get one's hair cut or lawn mowed.
Even when political was an "opt" in option, there were those who would opt in and then turn around and complain to the administration about their view/interpretation of what was being said or how. Add to that the very, very few who did not respect the rules of civility and the political forum was closed.
Fortunately there are other forums with current events policies to allow political participation.
I am still an advocate of a political forum here on TOTV with an opt in and a disclaimer to "enter at one's own risk". I recognize this is easier said than done.
I never could understand why those who dislike the subject so very much, never took the easy option....don't go in and read what you do not like.
Anyway it is what it is.....to each his own (to a point that is!).
