I come here for the discussion about "Jim Butcher and things his fans think are cool".
I'm sure that there are plenty of other places where people can go talk about religion & politics.
So did I to begin with, but it seems that religion and politics are cool to some people. The religion thread got through 200+ postings without war breaking out, and I learned a lot. The political threads so far have been models of thoughtful discussion and mutual respect--partly because we know we have something important in common (Jim's books & the series).
And, yes, there are other places, but this feels like home or a great coffee shop, it's the best forum I've ever found, I like the other people here--all of them--and I don't want to screw it up.
On the other hand, if politics gets banned, it won't ruin my day. But I need
something meaty to think about while waiting for the renewal decision to come down. A girl can only take so many Xanax in a day.
