Hi to all,

As i have said, I am a HUGE fan of this site, and have even been baffled that it has not grown much more quickly even when Max is functioning perfectly. But even more so with all the Max madness. I'm not only speaking of the slowdowns of the website, but just the mean people that are often posting there & have to make themselves fell better by putting others down. Vicious.

However, i feel that it has been a BIG mistake to have a political forum on here.

Yes, i am free to simply ignore it, but when i looked at the recent posts yesterday, politics were the bulk of the posts!! I come here for the info and the camaraderie, not to see/listen to "you're a Trump duffus, or you're a liberal idiot!" And back and forth ad nauseum.

Still glad the site is here, but have enough politics in my everyday life, and have no need (unless it is BDSM related) for it here!! This site is an escape from all the hate and vitriol, wish it could remain that way. My $0.02
