Many threads in the SD forum cause confrontation and heated debate.
My query was why he suggested it affected the politics threads specifically?

I agree with you entirely on one issue I will continue to post my opinions also regardless of anyones objections.

He has given the reasons for his conclusion.

SD is for serious debates: thus it should be robust enough to handle 'confrontation and heated debate' - as long as it remains in the thrust of the subject matter - which often, it doesn't - it degenerates to becoming personal - often mocking someone's opinion rather than respectfully disagreeing.

I cannot answer for InOne re your final question; I can offer my view on how I'm reading what's been written - the replies he has given throughout the thread: to me, it seems that he feels that any thread that falls under the Political topics banner in particular, are the ones that he feels degenerate to the point that reasonsonable and civil debate is impossible - and that he feels that most of the threads in the SD side of the forum: fall into that very category - making him avoid that section. In avoiding it: he may miss rather interesting other SD threads.

That's my take.
