I do not care, at all, about the political hits. That traffic is extremely minimal in comparison to the rest of the site. I, really, do not care for the political banter. It's not my cup of tea.
You might, also, think that this site generates some sort of measurable wealth. It does not. It barely covers the cost of hosting, but I have never been in it for money.
That being said, I do, also, know that political conversations seem to be intertwined with almost every topic, nowadays, and increasingly so. Maybe it is because we are getting older. If the political conversations were handled more maturely they could be in the main feed, but they are not. They, almost always, end up being a finger pointing, and name calling, contest.
As things pertain to this particular thread. I will never ban someone due to their political opinion. Perhaps, however, I need to crack down harder on the personal insults. Or ... maybe we can all just do a better job in that department.
