But overall most of that threads are "harmless" and do not create bitterness, hard fronts, headed up discussion and a bad atmospheare, like any kind of political discussion/thread can do.

But as I said above, is only my personaly point of view, so my suggestion to the admins is.....let the members here decide, if there is a need for a special subforum to discuss politics or not at MM. This can be easily made with a poll.

Well I'm glad you've come open and discussed this. But keep in mind that what I am trying to say is that we do have other threads open in this forum that are equally offensive as anything political. The football talk alone can get nasty with people saying stuff like "Vieri is sh!t and should die!". But I'm not advocating closing any of it down. There is a lot of stuff I dont think should be in this forum, but you dont see me crying and b!thcin to the administrator or any moderators to get them closed do you???. I simply dont even go in them. Anyone can change the channel and simply abstain from reading any of it. Tell me this isnt so??? Explain this to me better because the excuses coming to me are so inconsistent. If we conclude to close some discussions I like to get engaged in on the account of the displeasure of some members here, whats to stop me from being sour woos as well and call for things to close that I dont like??? Talk about tolerance! Lets just be tolerant to things we only agree on. Is that it??? Am I to believe it that I'm causing problems here??? If that's the case then ask me to leave MilanMania. But you cant be serious by putting a double standard on discussions here. What I beleved and felt that made this forum great is that it is an open forum of Milan Fans who can talk about a wide range of things including football. People talk about books, music, jokes, stories, tv shows, movies, porn stars, their homes, and most importantly their ideas including political thoughts. I think people need to seriously think about this cause talking just about football is boring. If you guys think otherwise, then lets just be puritan about the whole thing and close all things not pertaining to football. Of course this is what some of you folks are telling me... no???
Thanks for bringing these things to the table. I unfortunately disagree though on some of it.
