Any discussion of politics on the net will only descend into biased name calling insults. That is the difference between political discussions and other general topics. That’s why many say never discuss politics.

I agree with the original post that suggested a sub forum for that which would not show on the main board . I believe it would help the site maintain its core values.
Just my thoughts..
