I haven't had much time to read the 'who you're voting for' thread until today. I was surprised that in less than 24 hrs it already had 14 pages of heated posts.
I thought this would create a bit of a debate, but instead my idea has backfired a bit. I didn't realize that it would start to polarize members and possibly create animosity toward one another based on political views. That's something that we don't promote here on OB. I have since removed the thread.
I may create a poll to see if we can predict the outcome of the November election, but I think it's best to keep heated political discussions out of Orchid Board.
I've also received several PMs from concerned members that this sort of discussion is unhealthy here at OB as it has nothing to do with orchids and doesn't contribute to keeping this place free of conflict nor does it enrich our content. Thanks for wanting to keep the balance here and thanks for keeping me in check
The common thing that unites this place is Orchids and I think it's best if we keep it that way.
