Having not read past the first page, I think you need a Political forum with a warning saying you better know what you're getting into and moderate it less than the rest of these forums.

I suggested a "No holds barred. Enter at your own risk" forum to RP a couple of years ago, probably during an election campaign, when things can get really nasty here. Sadly, nothing ever came of it....

With Jack's age, I suspected it was a condition from a tonic he takes.

BTW, he's older than me!

I doubt it will this time either since this is supposed to be an automotive site and the GD is just an extra for the "pleasure" of it's members. If a change happens, I think it woudl be more likely to go the other direction and ban religeous and political threads.

Unfortunate, but true, I think. I also think that if it did happen, it would have more views than any forum on this site....

It wouldn't suprise me if this happens either.

Its a shame when the same guy or two brings threads down with hostilities, rudeness and bullying or starts threads just to stir the pot and antagonize everyone. Even if you don't want to read the thread you still have to see the titles, which sometimes are pretty bad themselves.
