If we will have a political forum, there should be 'Adult (or Smut) Forum' for link to naked ladies.

Where should the line be drawn?

If it's conditional, then I guess we won't have a Poly Sci forum ;)

Let me rephrase then, no political threads period. It's either that or a separate forum for them.

Since I'm apparently part of the problem, I've kept my mouth shut.

However, I truly can't see the reason for your suggestion. The Lounge is the only place where anything political should be posted. I can agree with that. But suddenly people can't determine what they want to read? What I mean is, if you see a post with a title that includes the words Hillary, liberal, or Bush, and you don't like to read about politics, why would you read it?

I'm not trying to force anything down anyone's throat, but cutting down the cherry tree isn't the answer to birds pooping on your "X". I'm sorry if this forum isn't the same as when it started, but with growth comes change. I'm simply amazed at the off the deep end reaction I've seen. It's like TV, movies, radio, and publications; if you don't like what it's presenting, don't view it.

Part of the issue is that many non-politically subject titled threads are also turning into political threads. IMHO, just the fact that we have brought this issue to light will probably solve the issue.
