When Threads Get Political or Argumentative or ....

I wish moderators would only remove the offending post/s and maybe posters too, instead of poofing the entire thread.

I hate missing out on discussions because people refuse to follow the rules. Some even brag about derailing certain subjects.

I don’t think this is fair.

It would take too much work. Not worth the time and effort.

Exactly and it's been pretty evident that Q doesn't want to invest more than they already do on this part of their website.

I wish the Mods would ban the posters who start bait threads on topics they know will stir the pot.

I see more of the OP bait threads than posters derailing good threads -- those OP's are the ones who refuse to follow the rules imo.

"Baiting" really is a very subjective, misused and misinterpreted term. Quite frankly, I don't think that some of the moderators understand what it means.

Just because posters choose to respond to a post in a caustic manner doesn't mean that the OP intended to "bait" them. If that's the case, then every single topic is "baiting".

We have some masters at baiting here no doubt bout that lol. Some bait is obvious other times not so much.

'Host Bashing' can be subjective as well but the posters who revel in it are the first to defend it imo.

I notice most pot stirrers defend the practice of baiting which isn't surprising.They enjoy the ride lol.

I find it interesting how long some threads last compared to others.

IMO threads about certain hosts (current or past) and first families (current or past) usually take a negative turn, so it's a wonder they allow them at all.

Totally agree @wildcat fan.

Inconsistency. No wonder posters take a shot at any topic since we don't really know what will stand and what's headed for poofsville.

Sadly, most of the political ones that get poofed are reported by people who can't handle a different opinion or view. The vast majority aren't nasty or argumentative; they just have different thoughts on the topic.
