The trouble is that three or four people will give me such a hard time when I delete offensive posts that it isn't worth it. If lots of people came to my defense it would be different, but they don't.

The only way I could think of avoiding it would be to moderate it, or simply be more proactive in purging the posts. It might become a pain in the doopa to do either. The only 3rd option I can think of would be to block users who go off the deep end.

There have been some suggestions for this, and I've resisted so far. There are a couple of people here who would use the opportunity to turn it into a radical political forum, and I'm not sure I have the stomach for that.

Is there some way to avoid that? I haven't thought of one, or the off-topic forum would exist today.

It can, but I thought that being able to have active discussions in the same manner as the rest of the forums wouldn't hurt either.

A forum for off-topic discussion is common for many of these kinds of sites. How about an OT forum so we can post rants about whatever is on our minds
