Why all the fuss about religious/political threads?
I see a lot of rage on here regarding that political and religious debates (more like mud pie fights lol) are allowed in the offtopic section of the site.
My question is, why is it a problem?
Man up, not everyone out there is going to agree with you, if you surround yourself only with people who agree with you, and refuse to interact with anyone else in a positive manner, you're stagnating your mind (not taking a moment to look at the argument from the other side is bad for you).
Now if you want your gaming forum to remain a gaming forum, stay out of the offtopic area.
If you want to talk about other subjects in the offtopic, yet you are impulsively drawn towards ranting at "ignorant people" then you can just mute those threads and the people who post them.
Okay I feel better now.

There has always been a considerably (and dismayingly) large contingent on this site that has a philosophy of: "If I don't want to see it, it shouldn't exist on the site. But since it does, I'm going to rage about it." For these people, ignoring/muting/hiding threads that they dislike is far less of a valid option than posting their disapproval both in those threads and here in the Community Forum. Fortunately, those of us who CAN bring ourselves to ignore/mute/hide content we don't want to see can ignore pointless complaint threads just as easily as any other thread with annoying or inflammatory content.

1 ReplyThe problem is that literally half the threads now are politard threads and the "JUST MUTE LAWL" option doesn't exactly work when you lose out on half of the flood and half the threads become "Hidden", screaming "LALALALAALLA I CAN'T HEAR YOU" doesn't solve problems.

3 RepliesIt's a problem only in the sense that people can't have civil conversations about things. Also, 8+ years without having religious/political conversation and then suddenly having it is slightly strange for longtime members.

I don't care what everyone's views are in a certain topic if they have already told me thousands of times over day after day for the past year.

To quote Kevin Smith "I think it's better to have ideas. You can change an idea. Changing a belief is trickier" .

Edited by TURRETS: 5/5/2013 2:20:01 PMBecause you idiots are annoying. On both sides of the argument. I'm not stagnating my mind because I don't want to listen to the same shit spewed over and over again. It seems like every other topic now degrades or starts out as a political or religious discussion. Think of something else to talk about you goons.

Because someone will always directly bash you on how you don't believe what they do and it usually ends up in butthurt mutings and people arent getting muted because they are annoying people are getting muted cause of their religious beliefs and political views which are only brought up in that type of thread.

1 ReplyBecause they tend to turn into shitfests and do nothing but take up space even when muted.

2 RepliesPeople want to discuss non-gaming topics outside of religion and politics.

[/quote] Absolutely, which was my original point. What was the problem again? Make sure you're actually addressing a problem and not the symptoms of a problem.

I miss the days when I could just pretend those deadguy-worshiping sops just didn't exist.
