Astute observation. This reminds me of an episode of the documentary TV series, Through the Wormhole. Episode 1 of season 6 is about bigotry ( Are We All Bigots?), but it dove into tribes and why people tend to defend their tribe, even if their tribe is an assigned one, like an elementary/primary school. It is an interesting episode if you can get your hands on it.
Now, imagine if FIO members and ForexFactory members got into a flame war over which community is better, etc..... just a thought. It is all arbitrary to me, but maybe not to others.
If I didn't have to ever click on the "Political Discussion" Button, then I would Vote YES! I respect Freedom of Speech when I have the choice to listen or not.
Do you have a peer reviewed citation for that? Or at least some data and statistics from an established verified source to support your assertion? Otherwise I will have to reject everything you have just said due to the lack of objective academic sources.
Actually, I think his intent was sarcastic in presenting an example of how someone might dogmatically, and wrongly, challenge another person's opinion with the demand for an academic citation. I don't think it was meant as a serious expression by @Grantx himself -- quite the contrary, because he then said, "See how boring that gets?"
I do think that @Grantx could have been more clear in how he expressed it. There is a place for nuance, and sometimes for speaking indirectly and even sarcastically, but it is easily possible to be misunderstood. If taken on its face, it can be read as picking a fight or as being offensive, which I do not think was the intention.
As a moderator, I am leaving the post as-is, with this comment about it. I think that we must have a care about how our statements might be read by another person, and put clarity first, especially in any discussion that deals with touchy areas where feelings may run high.

Well, I don't find it boring. I hate it when people don't believe me, but I'll always do the extra work. I don't just pull this stuff out of nowhere ya know.
