Political Forum?
Hi all,
so, is Off Topic the right place to start my grass-roots political campaign or should I just keep my fat mouth shut?

I guess campaign is not the right word, as I am not interested in any public office. Campaign for policy change would be more appropriate.

We are here to fix houses, not government or society.

I thought this was an "Open forum" -
As long as we're not "flaming" anybody -
Keeping it "clean" -
What's the problem!
If it's "Off Topic" -
Why does it have to be about "fixing houses"?!?
The rest of this place does a good job of that!!
Maybe one of the "Mods" will step in and give us a degree of -
"clarification"!

I agree with Ross. But I also see the reality of the vast number of opinions that would float in and float out on the airwaves.
A Political room here would be a little ineffective, and ultimately frustrating.
I would suggest going on over to ContractorTalk where they already have a room set up. However, it DOES require a post count of something like 250 posts to participate... another good thing to have in place.
Here is a site that has a Political room.
http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/
They may not be the open-minded people you're looking for, but they are very vocal.

I think "Nathan" and the "Moderators" can make whatever determination,
is necessary.

Yeah as if Nathan does not have enough to do, shagging spam, advertising, and insulting posts. Add a political forum and his work would go up exponentially.

And that brings me to another point.
Why is caffeine not considered a "gateway drug"

Now, stow it gyrene! 
I think we need to stay high and tight on what goes on here.
No need to complicate a simple forum IMHO.
