I disagree with Sorc, because with people like John, Camel, and DW on the forums, even without Hazard, there are bound to be disagreements in any subject, not just politics (like this for example xD). With DW around, politics is bound to come up anyhow. Instead of having the politics being in random sections on the forums where people like RD can just say something stupid and it would be okay since it's not in a specific "Debates" section, having this section creates a moderated environment that won't be poisoned by stupidity.
