 | Politics section to be closed permanently The politics section of this message board will be closed effective immediately. Political discussion is not what this place is about and the politics section has created a place that has many times gotten out of hand. From this point forward, political discussions are highly discouraged. The main purpose of this website and message board is to discuss WWII aviation, not politics.

| ... and to continue that note, be forewarned. If a member takes a political discussion into another aviation related thread, that member will receive due punishment. Do not attempt to post political rantings in other sections. Do not attempt to steer threads towards a political agenda. We understand that politics on aircraft program funding often come into play. We will tolerate their mention. But a member abusing this loophole to progress a personal agenda will be taken to task. You have been warned.

| Okay, fine by me. I like discussing politics, but I agree it usually turns into a slugfest. If it's gonna be closed, so be it.

| Yeah, same here. I like discussing politics, but not if it turns into a war. Oh well, I always wanted to know more about WWII aviation anyway.

| I agree 100%, and I've done my share of posting on the political threads, but many more times than not, they turn into ideological bloodbaths. Better to talk about the "Bloody Hundredth" instead! TO

 | I wondered how long it would be before this happened. Like many folks, I am guilty of being involved in a political flamefest at one time or another, and this closure is almost certainly for the best. Seems a few of us (myself included), struggle to resist the temptation of getting into some very heated debates here.
