Setting around the camp fire RVs talk about everything and if given the chance we can to. These subjects like all others can be shutdown just like all others that get out of hand.

Yes - I agree with this and this is the reason for the note in the forum description for that section especially and this is what happened with the recent closure - this discussion turned political and headed off the rails. Rather than remove the discussion entirely it was closed.
The forum is growing and not everyone shares the same values or social expectations. In the past 2 years, the number of members has grown by over 200 per month and the number of posts has doubled. This is great news because it means the community is active and vibrant and interestingly we have many fewer moderation issues than we used to.
