Why does any car site such as this need a "political" forum? I've never bothered with the political forum on this site and I enjoy that. But I'm also a member of FBBO and there is more activity in the political forum than any other. And there are two disturbing things about that ... 1) those with the most posts are there ONLY for the politics. If you do a bit of searching you quickly see that they don't contribute to any of the car-related topics at all and 2) there is no "discussion", just bitching and name calling.
Where else are they going to put Doc Fiberglass? They refuse to flat-out ban him regardless of what he says, and probably because there are one or two members that find him cute and funny.
You don't really know Eric. He's a normal guy.
And without the no holds barred forum the site would have very limited traffic. No traffic dead site.
