In the example you used with ice cream, who in their right mind is going to have a heated argument about Ice cream.(05-03-2016, 02:54 AM)Alex Summers Wrote: Honestly, I just hate politics as a whole. It's not just the subject of politics but what people make it into.

Example conversation:
Guy 1: Trump would make the best president!
Guy 2: No! Trump is garbage and anyone who thinks otherwise is stupid! Cruz is way better!
Guy 1: You're an idiot if you think that!
Guy 3: You're both idiots! #feelthebern

Politics does nothing but create conflict. People have different opinions and they argue over who's right. If you want to talk about politics, go for it! But do it in a private chat, not on a public server.
Guy 1: Vanilla would make the best ice cream!
Guy 2: No! Vanilla is garbage and anyone who thinks otherwise is stupid! Chocolate is way better!
Guy 1: You're an idiot if you think that!
Guy 3: You're both idiots! #feeltheRockyRoad
You can do this with any subject. It's not just politics, discussing politics should not devolve into personal attacks and neither should a discussion of creamy confections.
People can be vocal about any subject, but if in any single discussion it devolves to insults they should be punished.
If we ban politics then we should flat out ban any non-server related discussion.
People tend to always get personal when it comes to politics. Unless they agree on the exact same things completely, it usually always ends in arguments.
