Why are so many political posts showing up here while there is a GD-Politics Forum just for them?
Its sort of overpowering how many exclusively political posts are finding their way here, to the General Discussion Forum. It might clear the air a bit of many of the writers, and maybe the moderators as well, were to be more mindful of where posts belong if there is already a specific Forum just for that sort of thing. Not saying anything nasty, no name calling or anything like that. It would just be nice ...

2. It's not the end of the world. Some topics are ambiguous
and difficult to categorize.

The moderators would be here 24/7 moving things around.

I scan both forums and don't find it "overpowering" to zip through everything.

But that's just me. :shrug:

3. some folks just gotta vent.

and you get a bigger blow over here, vs the solid, engaged discussion over there. The Politics folks are just too logical and focused for a good ol rant. They always talk me down from the ledge and out of the Waaaahmbulance. Damn them.

At least that's why I do it.

:ROFL:

5. I agree.
When it gets like this, I just hang out in the lounge. As long as caucuses and primaries are going on, my guess is, things will be like this for a while.
