You are rejecting host's thread and questioning his post, and for what? Beacuse host is rejecting other psots and questioning their relevancy. Mayeb you should consider the fact that you may have more in common with his beliefs that you think.

Yo, willravel -- You are completely ignoring the fact that host defined the threads and topics he complains about as the ones that
most people read and respond to here in this forum. That's going pretty far out on the branch. What are all the rest of us who read and post supposed to think -- are you and host suggesting you are more enlightened politically? Are the topics you consider to be more relevant being banned from this forum? I take the populist view, that the numbers speak for themselves. The numbers of views and responses represent the voice of the people -- they think this way, they vote this way, and they debate these topics, like it or not. There are certainly heavyweight and lightweight topics in that top ten list, but to belittle the topics and the contributors as irrelevant is to belittle the judgement of every single person who contributed to the statistics of that top ten list.
The premise of the post seems to be that most of the participation here (again, defined
by host as the number of views and posts) is somehow not relevant enough to another person's liking, and that's what I reject. His opinion is directly contadicted by the evidence he provided in his own post. My reaction is that every thread in the top ten list that host posted in genuinely political, and condemning the posts as irrevelant is silly and illogical. For the crowd that gathers here in this forum, the threads are apparently very relevant, and the numbers bear that out.
KMA pointed out clearly that host provides a great deal of other information and opinion to chew on, and I applaud that. Host points out host's relevant topics, and others do the same.
Finally, hosts asked at the end of his post whether or not we agree with what s/he proposed. I answered his question, that I think the question itself is flawed.
