General Chatter

[Gentian]

There is an awful lot of political discussion going on here. I hate to be that guy, but I feel compelled to point out that the fastest way to fracture a community is by discussing politics, and religion. I'm not here for that stuff, and I don't think that I'm alone. I'm here to enjoy waifus, ponies, pony waifu's non-pony waifus, and to build some level of community with like-minded individuals. A lot of what's being said here, is going to upset some users, and it just seems to be asking for drama. Exactly the kind of drama that has such a stellar track-record of poisoning online environments. As small as ours is, is that something we really want to do? Especially when there are already so many other places to spout our opinions and fling poo at the opposition?

"So what?" you say.
"If you don't like it, don't read the thread." you say.

Ok, but this is the "general chatter" thread, not the /pol/ thread. When it gets bumped, I don't know if there's something worth reading, or if it's going to be more of reddit leaking in. If you want to discuss political matters, may I ask that those interested either go to relevant sites, or make a containment thread for them, and keep it confined there so the rest of us can avoid it more easily?
