![]() "Orval Fairbairn" wrote Actually, I have followed it. Naming the "Keating Five" does not stray from the topic. Any further discussion of them IS irrelevant. The thread really ought to be on rec.aviation.misc, rather than in piloting. What we need is a new group. Call it rec.aviation.politics. From the amount of interest in discussing politics in THIS group, it ought to be a big hit! g -- Jim in NC |

: ... I would like to see the political conversations in their own group as well. In an unmoderated group like r.a.p., it is virtually impossible to stop thread drift. Folks who feel comfortable with each other will make off-topic comments; others will join the fray, and suddenly there is an outpouring of passion. I doubt that the proposal is serious. Even if it was, I doubt that an aviation/politics group would change human nature and prevent thread drift in r.a.p. YMMV. Marty |

But thread drift isn't the only problem, it's threads that *start* as political statements. This thread did NOT start as a political statement. Someone from the Angry, Loony Left immediately turned it into such, reflexively engaging in character assassination. |
