Just so you know the direction, I am deleting posts that introduce political controversy into otherwise non-political threads.
I know it would be difficult to find it specifically stated in the Rules of the Road but I can easily find a rule or two that can be interpreted to avoid unnecessary sh!t stirring.
For those of you given to a tendency to go back to old posts and point out what I didn't do, no, I did not and will not make this practice retroactive.

What if we introduce non-political controversy into a political thread?

How about setting up a separate folder/board whatever you call it for "Politics" or off motorcycle topic conversations.
There are a few who like to spar back and forth on politics, they can have a hay day with that board and it won't fill up the general board with politics.

You have to mash down on that rod and overcome a hefty spring
in order to get the threads on that other part started. Mashing
your palm down on a rounded plumbing elbow is way better
that mashing your palm down on a rod...

It’s a mostly a one sided political BS board with general posts sprinkled in. I like the general posts about ride reports and such. I know you’ll say “well don’t read the political posts then”. Right? Then why not just have only one board if that’s the case? I separate board would be nice so we don’t all have to see all the “conspiracy theory” posts but I’m not counting on it. |

We have a lot of requests for a political section and it’s not going to happen. So if you don’t like political posts maybe try starting your own motorcycle forum. Likewise if all your thoughts run in a political direction start a political forum. I’m perfectly happy with this forum and it’s management and have been for 20 years. When I find myself at odds with the content I am more that capable of adjusting my viewing habits without the need to form a special section just to suit my idea of what the VRCC should be.

Definition of stupidity/madness/ignorance.
Doing the same darn thing over and over and over and expecting a different result.
There are many I pass by because I have the common sense to do that.
use your common sense.
