How about posting some non-political stuff, then ?
If you don't like a political post, don't read it. Auto-censorship, know what I mean ?
There used to be some interesting and funny stuff in the lounge, now it's all politics, but as that is also an incredibly important part of life, this is a fair reflection of reality. If people feel the need to inform their fellow citizens and people who share similar interests of something that is important to them, why not ?
As long as the politics don't creep out into the bike forums, and as long as we respect Dave's forum rules, and remain polite (well, sorta...) what's the problem ?
