You thought that was insulting?

I'm with you.

Atariage has a Politics and religion forum, which I think is great. I never even look in there, and it does have the "hive of scum and villany" reputation. That forum leaves me free to peruse the other off topic areas while remaining blissfully unaware of the nasty flame wars over politics & religion that may be going on. I don't discuss those two topics in real life, I'd prefer not to discuss them online either.
I get along with just about everyone here very well. Staying away from the P&R threads helps it stay that way. Yes I can (and do) just avoid clicking on the threads that look like they may be "hot", but IMO it would be better if they were isolated and quarantined until a cure can be found. OK, I'm going back to see what's new in the "Dream Girls" & "Children of the '80's" threads. :)

I personally see no reason to change the curernt setup.
It's a wild internet out there folks. BYOAC is one of the most consistantly administered forums that I frequent. Very often it is simple to determine the nature of a thread simply by its title. Don't like it? Skip it.
Other times a thread is more ambiguous or gets off topic. When it hits that point, go for the handy back button on the browser. It's really that simple. I personally like the hodge podge of topics in the 'EE' forum and hope it stays the way it is. What some members consider a "cesspool", others may embrace as "passionate discourse" - opinions may, and in fact, often do vary.
This is not meant as an insult to anyone, but rather a suggestion in general. If doing or seeing something upsets you, but yet you cannot cease that activity, you may have some larger issues to work out.
