I don't enjoy FTT. It grosses me out and being grossed out is not one of my kinks. Sometimes I read those posts with a morbid curiosity. Sometimes a description or link there will gross me out. I would never propose that the FTT section be removed simply because I'm grossed out. Different strokes for different folks. I'm an adult and can recognize that something might have positive value for others even though it does not to me. I realize that the world is a better place because of its diversity of interests and recognize that my interests are not the only valid interests for people to have.

I've occasionally posted to the politics forum on MF and now here. Yes, sometimes posts there make me angry. It's hard to connect with someone who is diametrically opposed to your own views. But, having the BDSM connection means that we have a thread that connects us and perhaps we will spend a little more time hearing about their point of view. Some times I post there with the (thin) hope that this underlying connection will allow for some mutual understanding in this era of the widening gulf between left and right.


IMHO, this thread belongs in the politics section. A post about political discussion being bad is a political discussion. So you may not like it but your participating in it.
