I have watched quietly as posts here became more and more political and/or off topic. This board is about SFMI, period. Posts related to gold, mining, economics, etc., can be relevant, but much lately has not been. Ordinarily, I let such stuff go, but if I feel it gets to the point where it is distracting from the main point of this board I will start deleting posts. And that will go for posts that are otherwise relevant, but include unnecessary political, cultural, or social references and statements. Remember, we are all here to learn about SFMI, but we don't all share the same political and social views, no matter how sure you are that yours are so superlative that everyone else must share them.
