I vote no.
Why not a Sports forum, Music, or (insert topic here) forum?
I like AZ b/c it is a bit looser than some other sites. I try to stay out of the "political" threads as much as possible, but from time to time I might be drawn in. Being raised Irish Catholic, you learn not to talk religion or politics at social functions
. And well I guess this bulletin board in way provides that for me.
Anyone who has spent any time at backpacker.com can tell you that, that BBS is ALL over the freaking place. I would hate to see that happen to AZ.
Save the "politics" for other sites, which I am sure there are plenty. Let's have more hiking, skiing and outdoor related discussions.
JMHO!
