A Politics/Current Events Board?
 

My suggestion isn't new or orig...many boards of similar or
even very different flavors, have begun Political Sci forums.

It's simply an arrangement that keeps Lounge forums, "lounge-like",
yet allows for sensitized issues and the inevitable arm wrestles and
debates, to be given its own arena. And, for those that choose not
to peruse or post, it compartmentalizes those "issues" to a singular
sub-forum.

so, in essence, we could call it Wagner's World?
LOL! only teasing.
