Way too frustrating.
Now the usual suspects will come and say "well, there aren't that many posts, so politics is better than silence." Yeah well, I am not sure.

It's why I always feel a bit of chagrin whenever I view such posts here, as I am left feeling disgusted with myself for viewing here what I refuse to view elsewhere.
Thought about writing something light-hearted, but I don't know if this board is the place any longer for such fare. It would be fun to do another wrestling-themed post after five years, but I imagine some would want to drag US politics into that somehow.

/Survey: If this place had a separate politics board like several other sites do, what would happen?

I remain unconvinced a few voices can drown out the rest in an internet environment.

All the political crap would go there, like it does on those other sites.

Perhaps some might feel more comfortable posting if it were separate?

Probably the easiest solution is to have a filter instead, save the new board for a "Writers Board"

Then you should know there are fewer conservatives on the site now.

That's arguably flawed reasoning, there's apparently considerably fewer posters overall now

To a certain extent. But the site's left lost LiterateDog and Chorabliss.

If people want to keep the place alive and interesting for themselves then they can do these things:

there would be so little traffic on the community board that you could shut it down
