Many of the same people who are whining about politics here also whined about the old Misfires forum. Some all-powerful invisible hand also forced them to look at stuff there that they then claimed they couldn't stand. Many guys like King Brown and nca225 who complained the most about Misfires and who were most vociferous in supporting Dave's decision to suspend it have been the worst offenders when it comes to posting off topic crap here on the front page.
