Being able to ignore or compartmentalize politics is a luxury that many in our country aren't able to do. I don't see what the problem is with people posting status updates about whatever they want within board rules. It's a place for people to express themselves and their random thoughts and ideas and remarks without having to create threads about every thing that pops into their head.

Exactly!
