Whenever I see a two page post on politics or religion or whatever I usually don't read it anyway.



Yup! And that is where content management should be dealt with. Instead of an allout banishment of some subjects, there should either be a separate forum for them or at least a requirement for the subject line to mark a thread at being about a "difficult" subject. Each individual member should have fair warning as to the nature of the thread and then decide for themselves whether to jump in or move on.

Consider my plight, I'll soon be living out in the country. My nearest neighbor lives maybe 1/2 mile away and works long hours. Where else will I have a chance to discuss politics and make fun of politicians, cops, lawyers and radicals?
