Are the people who agree with me also "pouty", or do you just not like me specifically?

Because if it is the second, then that is your problem sweetheart, not mine.

I didn't see anywhere that people demanded that Q MUST do anything.

I did see people say what they want to see and what the didn't want to see.

I can see why the Q doesn't want to host political discussions. This is, after all, a public chat room. What is posted here is easily read by anyone. I found this place while looking up handbags, lol!

Comments like "I hate bellbottoms but love capris" or "I feel that dogs are better than cats" etc., who cares, but if you start mentioning candidates, that might bring embarrassing, easily searchable quotes that this company would rightly shy away from. Too quickly companies can get an undeserved reputation from items posted that they have no control over. This is just a guess, but if it were my shopping company, I wouldn't want anything controversial equated with my name. There are plenty of places for that.

@PenneyT, I think your post is spot on. I wanted to emphasize it, especially the part I bolded, because I think some people try to compare sites not affiliated with a business with this one. These forums are a reflection of QVC, and that dictates their policies and the moderators' actions. The problem is... for some reason, they're not consistently looking at the contentious threads in all the sub-forms and they're not weeding out the nicknames that inevitably appear as the triggers for the personal fights which ensue.

To answer the original question, I really don't discuss politics with anyone. When my husband was alive, sometimes we'd talk politics, but that was rare. I've never discussed politics here so I don't miss something that I never did.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

And this is why things cannot be discussed here...

Nobody is insisting or demanding. I think people are having a discussion about wouldn't it be nice here if politics and/or current events could be discussed.

I don't even like to go to the political boards during Primary season. Some posters are so over-the-top in the way they support their candidates. It can get really nasty. Not for the faint of heart!

There are things on my mind that I wish I could discuss with others on current events that crossover into politics. There's important things happening and I no longer know where to put my trust. Sure, I have family and friends that I can discuss these things with but there is a broader group of opinions here and often very insightful.
