I frequent another forum, a dedicated sports forum, that has a separate political subforum from their "general". I think that would be nice to sort of filter out all the political topics from teh lav.
On the other forum I have decided to just stop even browsing the political forum bc of the differing views and the inability for anyone, including myself, to see the opposing posters views. Makes it easier because on here I find myself getting dragged into them but have eliminated it completely on the other forum.
