Why don't you leave CP then? This is not a personal attack against you; a genuine question. If Yoho's posts make you so riled up that you can't simply ignore them, why not just leave the forum and save your personal well-being? Why do you see passionate fighting yoho's of the world on message boards as your personal duty? People can read and decide for themselves if what they see is interesting, valuable or unworthy trash.

There are thousands discussion boards dedicated to politics all over internet. There is no tangible value to CP in having them here other than traffic numbers. CP forum IS for hockey. It is only good because of the Flames hockey and because of the people who contribute to hockey discussions, general hockey rumours and hockey talk in game threads. I've said it before - ban all political and religious threads from the Off-Topic, and the forum will be a much better place to visit. I am guessing the mods might have talked about this at one time or another and decided against it to keep the traffic numbers better; and, if so, this does not seem like a good enough reason (to me, at least)... So, yeah, lighten up and take it easy, dude. It's just an off-topic thread.
