To me, it is germaine to a "forum for information about TV, and the lives of the people in and interested in, TV" when people here engage other intelligent, articulate, and capable thinkers in discussing current events that seriously threaten or bolster our nation's unity, integrity and freedoms, or our community's peaceful, orderly, fiscally sound way of life.

It is disturbing to see how much people are going along with being silenced, to just let media talking heads and politicians do all the thinking and expression of thought for us. Our forefathers, veterans and active military have not fought, bled, gotten crippled/maimed or died so that we could sit around being fat, dumb and happy, without having to think and speak for ourselves.

I have no idea why people found the opt-in political forum to be so deeply upsetting or offensive, when they did not have to go in and see it in the first place!

Are they afraid they might learn something about their flawed or unsubstantiated arguments?
