This is a good idea that I support. Segregating Religion and Politics to isolate those that are consumed with their points of view could be a good thing. Then Chit Chat could be free from the fantics of world view. Baron you are making very good decisions lately, Thank You.
Yep, there are never any fanatics who discuss sports, relationships, cars... Just like in a bar, there are never fights over anything but religion and politics... In fact, there will probably never be a single flame war, no racial slurs, no internet stalkers, and no foul language in the new "G" rated chit chat...
good move. keep that politics forum away from us normal people. move it to the bottom of the page as well. you can lure in advertisers, anyone that sells something for people that don't have a life will find a very eager crowd there.
