Should there be a politics forum?
ShavedForNow:
I understand why the rules are currently set up the way they are, but there seem to be a lot of members here who are interested in these kinds of issues.
If there were to be such a forum, I think there should be an understanding that the participants are allowed to get a little mud on one another - without getting TOO extreme - and then go back and play nice on the rest of the site. Most of the guys around here seem to be mature enough to handle that.
There would also have to be a rule against insulting any group of people or any individual other than a public figure.
Just my $0.02.

It has been tried before and we've found that it drives wedges in the brotherhood and takes away from the real purpose of this site. If you're looking or a good political discussion, try out the forum at http://www.treesandthings.com.

That's a shame. I would have thought the bro's knew how to respect different opinions.
On another note, thanks for recommending Trees & Things. I like their member-moderation approach: it's rare (if not unique) among political forums.

I agree with Tyler. While I do respect the feelings and opinions of my liberal SBG brothers ( I am for the most part conservative) it seems that anytime the a political discussion comes up things get nasty. So there are definantely other websites more well suited for discussions like that.

thank goodness! The LAST thing this great board needs is politics. So few boards transcend our political opinions. Let's leave this one as it is...:)
Thanks,
Brett
