One...you being one of the more verbose posters here, I'm surprised you
would even notice I posted more than one or two lines.

Given the scarcity of your posts, I tend to at least open them.

And two, it's not about censorship, it's about posting political crap to
the point where it's no longer roff,

I disagree. ROFF hasn't been strictly FFing for many years, if it ever
was. IAC, it's easy - if you can't tell from the subject (normally,
it's pretty obvious), open the original post and it if isn't of
interest, then don't open any replies. Hell, I've opened FFing-related
posts, had no particular interest, and never looked back.

it's become ropc, I and others did not sign up for this,

I missed the sign-up sheet - what did it promise?

and worst of all, it has driven off some people

Oh, please. You're an adult of, um, mature years. If you or anyone
else is going to let posts that you don't even have to read drive you
away from participating in the things you do enjoy, then, said plain,
you (and they) are a big pussy. I can understand if someone just says,
"Eh, not my cup o' tea anymore..." and just quits reading and/or
responding, but the melodramatic exits, complete with "you drove me to
it!!!" wailing is just more noise.

that had regularly posted on topic stuff and have
left in disgust at those who use this as their political forum.

Hmmm...how can I put this delicately? Ah...**** 'em. If adults can't
control what they read and respond to as well as initiate when given
complete and total freedom, then they probably need to sit at home and
argue with their goldfish. Hey, I don't like "Desperate Housewives" (or
a whole ****pot-full of other shows, either) so guess what? I don't
watch it. But I didn't throw away the TV. I just watch the few things
that I do enjoy and ignore the rest.
