If you don't like politics, simply don't view that forum. Same goes for sport, fun stuff, entertainment and so on. I should think that would make it easier to avoid topics that you are not interested in.
I think our forum has had some very healthy debates on certain topics. That is not to say that every thread went smoothly. Indeed some became rather heated. I believe this is normal. And that the moderating staff did an excellent job when it came time to moderate.
What is wrong with geeks sharing their computer passion while at the same time discussing a variety of topics and issues?
