Lol. By postings, the Politic forum is easily 2x any of the other forums. I like to drop in from time to time there to watch the antics of the keyboard cultural warriors duking it out. Many excellent examples of the Dunning-Kruger effect in play. Perhaps they are just a bunch of old white dudes that aren't mongering very much any more and have way too time on their hands.
I say restrict posting in most forums to Premium Access so maybe we can get more encounter reviews posted, which is the whole point of this site.

How many times during our life we are told that we are "exceptional" and that the rules of peaceful coexistence that apply to others do not apply to us?
I think that the current economic debacle, exacerbated but not caused by the corona virus, should teach us that we are just human beings, as everybody else, and that we need to start looking, objectively, into the very serious problems that our society faces.
