I understand that a Mod's job can be a royal pain. It's difficult to keep an eye on all the stuff people write.

However, you need to keep in mind that we're living in historic times, and it's very difficult to totally avoid politics in the "general-non-automotive" section when considering just what the candidates may actually stand for.

If you talk about electric cars, there is a reason far beyond it being a "new" concept........It just may be an essential concept, and this due to "political" climates and developments.

If you talk about hunting, it can be difficult to totally avoid the real possibility of our country going the way of Canada who has already lost most of it's firearm rights because the people were too late in speaking up.

If you talk about Ma Mopar, a political bailout comes to mind in her past, and the very real possibility that we'll be faced with these issues again in the near future.

And here we are facing an election that could very well decide the future of our hobby (not an exaggeration...legislation is already in our history, and more on the way), and it's pretty difficult to totally avoid the issue since this site is centered on the hobby.

How can there be a general section with censorship of subject matter? We have a "blue forum" where it states that "anything goes"........I don't go there, and I could use the argument that "this is a Mopar site and we should talk about Mopars".........forgive me, but you can go to **** sites for that stuff, can you not? Why here? I believe that the issue is that arguments can be offensive and divisive........well, so is the blue area to some........but I don't go there, so I don't worry about it.

Especially in this political climate, and with so much at stake right now in the nation, there should be a political and legislative forum where these views and concerns can be expressed. A Moderator could volunteer to police it as far as abuse, language and slander, and you could hold the line on censorship, which I know Adam doesn't approve of anyway. He wants a balance and a stop to personal attacks member to member. BUT, we've had the same problem with snooty members before in other forums, and they've been dealt with one on one.

A separate forum and a volunteer Mod might solve the dilemma, with a warning posted about abusive language and personal attacks being dealt with by the Moderator.
