The message board is a dying forum..but there is enough of us. Intelligent to maintain adult conversation. If it is an issue or adult topics are upsetting,
Resign or log out.

I agree with you. I have had over the years, countless conversations here on The Ledge about religion and politics with people I agree with, and at times vehemently disagree with. And yet, here we all are, chatting like grown ups about multiple topics years later.

Besides if you really wish to talk about this stuff with other Ledgies, you can always use private messaging, email, Facebook, texting, faxes, letters (the post office needs the work), etc.

The real answer here is that most of us have been chatting on this forum for a decade or more, and we in very real way, know each other - we have things in common that bring us together. This is our space, and - moderators, administrators or otherwise - there is no Ledge without members who post and talk to each other.
But, ultimately, whatever. The ban on political-religious discussions doesn't bother me one way or another. I'm cool with it, and will respect the rules.
