Right now im only of a few thoughts:

1.) That general forum to me taints the entire site. After looking at that forum, i just start automatically reading into everything presented on this site. The poltics seem to bleed over into other area's though little cracks here or there and its hard to not focus on them. "Jap" thread for example. Additiona thoguht here. After tonight, i honestly have little desire to visit this site anymore. The whole poltiical drama that eventually occurs here just puts me off to subsim, and SH3. Just playing SH3 reminds me of subsim.

2.) One thing i havent been able to understand is how come the general forum is allowed to run rampant the way it does. In most places ive seen, poltiics and religion is either not allowed or put off into its own little corner where people didnt have to have to look at it. I try my best to avoid it, hoping to find something else in there to read, but invariably things get political there. One thing that ive noticed is this whole "I will not submit" thing all over the place. While i havent cared to look into that, it reminds me alot of NOTW bumper stickers, only its of an anti islamic tilt. Im not overly enthused about world events either, but the whole I will not submit, strikes me as an open display of religious hatred - and this is displayed everywhere in every forum where various members post. Its ilke no matter where you go on subsim, theres a little piece of the general forum there.

3.) If you can't moderate/isoloate politics and relgion, then at least rename the damn general forum so people have an idea of what its REALLY about. I seriously suggest renaming it to "Opinion, Politic's and Religion". A little truth in advertising and the name is indigative of what one can expect there. The name of "general forum" is highly misleading.

4.) It's really hard to not take the **** that gets tossed in that forum personally. When people start tossing up there crap in my face, its really hard to not get very aggressive. Some people there have an amazing ablity fling their opinions in the most offensive, yet subtle manner possible. Subtely is what some people there are really good at. I for one, and not into subtley, i don't buy into subtely, and im not fooled by it either. I say what i mean, rather then tapdance around it in a fake facade of subtely.
