"bad people may come" is somewhat disingenous considering what happens when they do. And that having good people here is kind of the point.

Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!
We open it up, we talks the talk, we votes, we shuts it down. This thread is to free up Bureaucracy for daily details as we hammer out the Big Issues towards a vote. Open only when a proposal has been made and seconded according to Buffista policy (Which we voted on!). If this thread is closed, hie thee to Bureaucracy instead!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
So far the arguments against the thread seem to boil down to bad people may come, and we can't be trusted to have a civil discussion about politics
What am I missing?
Concentrating political discussion, even if civil, will lead to much higher collective board blood pressure, which could affect other threads.
Uncomfortable with ghettoizing a topic that's so closely intertwined with personal lives.

Our wings are not tired
I'm trying to get some perspective on how threads have grown around here. How did we end up adding Music, Movies, and LofR threads?
Were these done to move those topics out of other threads because of too much traffic? Groundswell of interest? I wasn't here, and for me at least, it's helpful to know historically why b.org has added threads like that.

I think LOTR thread was created because it was taking over the Movies thread.

I think LOTR thread was created because it was taking over the Movies thread.
That must have been from WX or TT, because on Phoenix the LOTR thread predates the movie thread.

I proposed the LotR thread here because it would take over natter.

Ahh... I knew it was because it was taking over another thread. thanks for clarifying!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
LotR was taking over EVERYTHING.
