Would it be possible to have a “misc” forum here? As we make friends here and find we have other things in common, a place for us to chat that won’t derail the purpose of the other forums. Not political debate or any of that junk, I just mean a place where we can talk about nice things as we make friends here and find we have other things in common besides knives :).

I would vote for this. In the other forums I feel the need to be informative. And I’m not very good at that. 🙁

“No politics” is a good rule of thumb… most “off topic” forums have it. 🙂

I think I’ll move this into the new “Off Topic” section. :woohoo:

Yes, CBW is right, NO POLITICS! It only makes people grumpy and there are plenty of other places on the web to go for a grumpy fix.

Isn’t that a line from a song..??

Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace
John Lennon 1971

For you youngsters..

😆

How about just letting the moderators keep an eye on things and shuttting it down if it starts getting out of hand??

+1 on the Lennon song and +1 on the moderators keeping an eye on things. BTW, here was my Halloween costume this year:

Long time Lennon fan, and yes I was hearing Imagine (imagining Imagine?) in my head when I posted that. And of course,Instant Karma, in another thread.

Some forums I haunt have a separate area for politics and religion posting. Seems like a burden on the mods otherwise. If you are in a politics and religion forum, you know that you have entered a potential war zone with snipers etc very possible. Strong emotions follow these topics.

Just my 2 cents
