There is a continuing aura of negativism that is regularly assigned to that which may be political with comments such as non political threads degrading to political.
And of course my regular defense of the majority of us who do in fact enjoy discussing current events that like it or not are at times political in nature and have potential to affect all of our lives....and we lose that opportunity and have to listen to derogatory commentary about the nature of political discussions all because of a few who refuse to follow the rules or remain civil.
How about we all call a spade a spade and not tar and feather the subject of politics because of a few bad actors or a select few who do not care for political rhetoric. As has been pointed out about other controversial subjects there are always the few who antagonize the many....however those other controversial subjects are not banned.
And in closing I still do not know why those who do not care for or are predjudiced about political content continue to enter a thread that may have political content and thencomplain about what is posted. That makes about as much sense to me as one who would elect to continue to visit a casino and then complain and denegrate what they see and hear inside.
The cure is, was and always has been....so simple....how about just do not enter....it is voluntary!!
And the profiling of which of us may be political or not is entertaining on some level....I think!!!
