What RallyPoint topics do you purposely stay away from? Why?

Presidential election questions. People don't respond well to ideals that don't align with theirs. Politics and specifically the presidential election take this to the next level.

I tend to stand clear of things I don't know little or nothing about!!!

I avoid poliitics like the plague. People get so mada if you disagree with their point of view or they get ticked off at my point of view...so I try to avoid that topic. That and religion...

Was surprised to see a topic listing for politics as you say usually those discussions are not discussions but affirmations of political faith and beliefs regardless of what anyone else thinks or says. But since there is a politics topic I try to confine my comments to that particular forum and keep my name calling to a minimum. I also agree with religion, to the extent of commenting on keeping religion separate from politics, and must be careful when addressing topics involving gender. Also have to avoid topics of current immediate interest such as uniforms, PT belts, weight standards, promotion requirements, medals, etc which I have no current knowledge of or experience with.

I don't care about the topic. I do care about anything that gives me the feeling I'd be arguing with an idiot. Those are the ones that pounce on comments that point to a spectrum of some like "A" and some like "B". They get upset that "B" was even mentioned.

The "Black Lives Matter" forums were the only legal / political forums I've cared to participate in. Even then, I cared very little for the extremist and far side positions I read.

Any that are purely opinion based I try to limit and ones that are conflicts of interest.

I've steered away from rhetorical questions that could cause for question my stand on equality. So many people try to make something out of what is NOT said rather than taking what IS said at face value. I've changed the tone of my conversations quite a bit from my first year on RP. It just wasn't worth it and I love how some love to argue online rather than use this for what it is worth - a DISCUSSION forum.

Stolen Valor, breaks my heart.
