I get that and don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting we change it.
I guess my point was more, "just because we can doesn't always mean we should". Those are the topics where folks should pause and consider "why" they feel compelled to post something. Politics and religion have a way of going from promoting -to- poking fun -to- hot emotions and damaged friendships, even if unintended. It's like the Hatfields and McCoys, blue vs red. I've managed to maintain my friendships "across the aisle" by not engaging the topics directly, but I've personally witnessed other friendships sour. It's pathetic, sad and never fun to watch. I just keep my fingers crossed that the posts fizzle out before it escalates to that level.
Wish us luck!
