People disagreeing is what makes this section good, IMO. I love an actual debate, with people on both sides saying their views and why they think that, and maybe backing it up with evidence. What I do not like is the persistant trolling that seems to go on.
I have argued against having SD just taken away as I do remember a time when it was decent and have been attempting to get it back that way too. But it will take time. Hopefully not much time, but some time.
I am actuallty considering floating the idea of a minimum word count, for posts in this section, to make people actually put thought into their posts, and have less one liner baiting or sniping posts. I also would like (personally) a seperate politics forum.

When I joined a couple of years ago, I joined to chat about a series of BB but wandered in here. Back then it was full of people sensibly discussing all sorts. Yes, it got heated but then all good debates do, that's what keeps them energized. Its probably in the last year that its gone downhill with too many one-liners just baiting a reaction and too many trivial topics that aren't worth joining.
I think a political forum is a great idea. Hopefully, it would pull in new members and liven the place up again.
