I think you're right, but if I had to guess, it usually comes by virtue of the thread devolving into a heated argument with lots of insults, which ive actually seen happen in other topics too.
to give you an example of the pervasiveness though that I think I mentioned in my previous post---you particularly liked the post by Sancho where he quoted an author decrying the south for parents arranging marriages between relatives as opposed to letting the children chose themselves. in a very real way, such a culture fits right into this thread, and into overall picture of how the individuals fit into groups, or the relationship between individuals and those in authority.
You are right Bounty, plus a lot of trolling during some times.
Who told you I donīt like about politics? I do certainly, if it is in an civilized way.
But the rules are very explicit about this. Maybe it would be a cas to clarify with Logos, now we are so few.

like I said though danik---its not my intention to stimulate a conversation. maybe a few years from now we'll still be here, some one else will pick up the thread, and we'll be back to it.
Or maybe the rules will change.
