I get it, and of course unless someone on WG is a state or federal representative there is no value in discussing it, but I wish people were mature and tolerant enough to discuss and listen to another opinion. That's how I learn.
But, I agree, without a dedicated 'OFF TOPIC" thread, keeping it MC/Motor vehicle or other hobby based for the most part is likely a good idea and allows us to focus and ESCAPE the online nonsense that is EVERYWHERE else. It robs from the 'campfire' aspect of the group, but it is what it is, and I for one APPRECIATE a forum that focuses mostly on this passion we share....
That said, though there is occasional dipping into 'politics' on the 7-8 other forums, it never lasts, is usually brief, and people act like grownups, and do go crying to mommy and daddy. I've told Dan, that if you need my help, I'm happy to pass out tissues. :evil:

We are all aware of the political climate. Let it be for another time and place.

Discussing politics and religion is difficult enough in the flesh - doing it via keyboards is virtually a guarantee to be filled with misunderstandings/interpretations on top of what usually turn out to be toxic topics. The reason is likely that these topics are generally very personal and also emotional, so rational discussions tend to be difficult. So while I would like on principle the opportunity to discuss any topic, experience tells me some topics are bound to end up ugly, sooner or later. Hence I vote to keep it motorcycle related only, even though I have slipped a few times. And been corrected for it, rightly so.
