A TV series show I seen explained what a chat site was: A place where people get together and argue with each other To be fair they were talking about IRC, I laughed anyways.

I don't have the time to post at length, but I want you to know that I agree totally with your approach and believe that most here feel the same way. IMO, the political boards are a liability. I'd be happy to see the elimination of the home for such boards as "George Bush did 9/11," and the like. Not many ad buyers would want to be associated with that topic or the ones that deny the Holocaust or blame the US for all of the world's problems.

If I ran this place, political threads would be invisible to casual browsers and free members -- as if they didn't exist. Even paid members would be able to access no more than just the political thread titles, and would be required to pay extra -- per post -- for reading and posting privileges on them. That should dent their popularity and make SI money in the process. Win/win.

That was educational for me. Thanks. It all makes sense now.
