Chique.
Whilst I do understand your sentiment, (which has been said a number of times by the way), to a degree it has also rightly been said that the war is one of most, if not the most influencing of factors for Poly ATM. Now, as always your view garners a few recommendations, perfectly validly, but assuming that all war/political/other issues were removed, how many posts would be on here every day? 5? 10? 20? not very many that's for sure as very little is happening. I do wonder if those rec's (excepting yourself and one or two others) are just from those that expect to rock up here and benefit from other posters labours and are just peeved that they have to spend one or two extra minutes 'wading' through what they regard as 'unrelated' posts. This place, as any other BB is a 'community/family', sometimes slightly difunctional I accept, but informative non the less. For myself, I do post some 'unrelated' stuff, but nearly always as a rebuttal to what I see as troll/propaganda posts from the 'revisionist VP/russia can do no wrong camp' which does get my goat! That group is always very very vocal here, and I very much doubt that will change (after all they are possibly paid or encouraged to be, and to say nothing to counterbalance it almost (in my view at least) condones/agrees with it. That is inexcusable given the present activities in The Ukraine. All that said and done, if the thread heading is correctly descriptive and the filter button is used, why should it matter much? All sane people want the war to end ASAP but to reward aggression from any side is a very slippery slope.
Just my 4d's worth.
