I believe there are other newsgroups for you political types to rant about the election. And contrary to the idiot who started this political thread,this newsgroup is not a "family" so stop the inappropriate posts.
Stop it.
Thread discusses whether political discussion belongs in the newsgroup, with posters disagreeing about whether off-topic posts should be ignored or removed.

What this newsgroup doesn't need is people like you who can't take anything. There are people dying, starving, looting, farting ..ahh.. in this world and you are upset over one little tiny post! Lighten up!

One tiny post huh? You freaking dufus. Why don't you ask around? People don't want morons who post crap about politics in the "alt.tv.seinfeld" newsgroup. Why? It doesn't belong. You might as well post pyramid scams.

"Crap about politics?" I don't know if it was crap, because many people responded. After reading and contributing to posts on this group, its a nice diversion to talk about weightier issues with the same people. So, like I said, just ignore it if you have a problem with it
If it so offends you, you don't need to read it. ITs not as though the posts don't fall under a certain label or anything.

The question is not whether I should ignore posts that belong here. Rather, the people posting these irrelevant messages should get a clue and find the appropriate place for them.
