In my opinion, the political stuff should be eliminated.   This is a video game site. There are literally thousands of places to discuss and argue about politics on the internet. This doesn't need to be one of them. I think it was very significantly negatively impacts my experience with this website.

 

I don't mean that nobody can ever make a political comment. But, the fact that we have a politics Forum on here is nonsensical in my opinion.

I think you would lose more people if you cut that out.  Don't like the discussions then don't participate, but to take it away from those that do seems selfish.  Just my 2 cents.

 I don't disagree with you. Certainly, one is free to not participate in the political discussion, just as their free to not participate in any other discussion on this site.   But, if one is interested in politics, it can sometimes be hard to avoid clicking on some of this stuff when the provocative headlines are sitting right in there with all the video game discussion.

 

 I am somewhat interested in politics. I think I do a decent job of staying out of the discussions on here, because most of it is totally ridiculous. but, my track record of staying out of it as far less than perfect. And that's nobody's fault but my own. Nevertheless, the fact that this political discussion takes place in the forms here does negatively impact my enjoyment of the website. I'm sure I'm not the only one in that boat.

 

With that said, I'm certainly not going to start any serious lobbying effort to eliminate the political discussion for him. But, if I had a magic wand, I'd get that shit out of here.
