WHO WOULD PREFER TO SEE ALL POLITICAL THREADS RELEGATED TO THEIR OWN THREAD IN 'CONNECT AND SHARE'?

[mtnlane]

Political threads have their place in social media but I do not think 'Community Spirit' is the place.

The vitriol and nastiness some of these threads engender, leading to claims of interpersonal posts, removal of posts and frequent locking of threads all damage any Community Spirit which previously existed.

Freedom of speech is to be applauded but the current rash of political threads is 'infecting' the spirit of the Community Spirit board.

Does anyone agree with me?

Would anyone else be prepared to communicate with the moderators requesting consideration of this suggestion?

I have.

LL, they would get bumped

It won't happen that quick, donna, if at all.

But the idea of a separate board  as in

Connect and Share - Politics

that would work for me

[izabsmiling]

why don't posters who want other types of threads ..just Start them?

What next?

Connect & Share - puppies

Connect & Share - cats

Connect & Share - cooking

Connect & Share - brain teaser questions?

 i understand people grow tired of it, maybe a little less of it might pacify them ? for example if i don't reply to the newsltd propoganda and nobody else does will it cease ?  it might be worth a try for the sake of the others here

besides its a good way to allow the thread to drop to the bottom of the page if not further..

There are too many of those, I agree but it I don't worry about things out of my control, I just start a thread I am interested in lol

Would moving it to a different board make it unavailable for general discussion?
