I just do not understand why some continue to promote that politics the subject or now even the word are the equivilant of some sort of boogeyman aura as if to be feared.

If the same folks had a fear of going down a dark alley for what ever reason....we would all most likely suppose those folks would not go down a dark alley. Now why doesn't that same logic follow regarding a political discussion. If one does not like politics then, like the dark alley....just simply do not go there.

As stated many, many times....such a simple and GUARANTEED solution....100% effective!
The fact of the matter is it's a TOTV rule, not a case of whether or not you should ignore something on here that is political in nature if you don't want to discuss politics. Why don't you implore Admin to reinstate the political opt-in/opt-out forum if you feel so strongly that political posts should be allowed?

I didn't care for the classified ads gumming up the New Posts/Today's Posts windows of the forum, and I didn't want the political posts gumming them up either. So the opt-out function worked for me.

Unless and until TOTV changes its rules, you can go to a different forum to discuss politics.
