You are just unforgiving that I did not stereotype you in that thread back then!

I like being able to read a vast amount of opinions here. Sure, sometimes I can't help but shake my head in unbelieving disgust at what some of you say

, but I am sure some have done the same for what I have said. Who cares, if everyone thought exactly the same then life would be quite boring.

This is not about politics. This is about the internet's peculiar effect of making people who are normally mature, responsible adults into ranting, squabbling children. The problem is not the subject matter. Rather, it is the candor of the writer. Moderators do not lock threads due to viewpoints, with software piracy being the only exception. They are locked because of forum conduct.

Regarding a politicl subforum: This does not remove the problems related to any topical speech. It only moves the topic and forces moderators, namely me, to watch multiple forums, rather than having it all in one location. As such, I am strongly opposed to such a division of topic.
