New poll idea

[Central Coast Ute]

Tony, what would you think about running a poll asking if you should remove the politics category from the website? Of course it’s up to you to choose to remove it or not.

Can’t one just ignore a category?

[Tony (admin)]

Yes you can on the app and the website!

If you are going to keep it around, the politics category should be ‘opt in’ not ‘opt out’.

The political climate we live in today, might show this result on steroids. So much hate. So much blame.

This post is hate speech. LOL just kidding.

Ouch! Not my intention. Sorry. Ha ha.

My two cents on politics.

If I had the same experiences as you, I’d probably think like you do. Maybe I do.

Does anyone really believe the vitriol of politics won’t spread to other topics on the board. If someone takes issue with your political views they may start a witch-hunt on all your posts. I think that happened on the other Ute board. I believe it will also happen here if politics is allowed.

I come for sports, but I’d leave if politics bleed into the sports categories. NIL, transfer portal, BigXII, etc. have already put me on the ledge.

The Whitt commentary is already divisive enough. Can we really handle throwing the jet fuel of politics on here? I say no.
