There is something that I have wanted to say for a long time to those that are critical of the Politics forum that have rarely, if ever, participated there in the last year. I believe it is relevant to Hal's OP.
Politics earned it's vile reputation with the poor behavior of mods and members (myself included) a long time ago. In the last year or so, it is rare to see that type of behavior or to see a topic locked. I give full credit to the current mods that guide that forum and the many members that prefer respectful discourse. Mockery and disrepect for the person rather than the opinion is virtually gone.
In short, the Politics forum is one of the great successes of TFP and it is long overdue that we recognize it for what it is today, not what it was a year ago.
