For the record, I think the Soap Box board is a tremendously bad idea. It encourages far right, far left, and newguy bat excrement posts to go forth and multiply, which is really not what we have been all about. I watched the retire early home page board on TMF slide into the muck as it was colonized and eventually dominated by far right nutzoids (far left would have been no better) - that is why I left and spend my time on this boarrd. I really, really REALLY do not want to see that happen here.
I think the soap box board is a fine idea. It allows people who want to talk about certain topics to do so without cluttering up other discussions. Each of us can choose how much time, if any, to spend here. I'm sure that I will check in to see if there is a discussion that interests me.

I think these topics tend to get emotional pretty quickly. Because of that, it's best if people avoid language like "bat excrement", and "nutziods".
