Politics are always going to creep into the forum, and most of us have been guilty of that behavior at one time or another. Since most of us know this is not the place for such behavior we pull our punches, or at least we try to. If you do a politics forum it will take away any restraint that the members have, and you will find yourself spending more time than you want, or should, policing the site.

In my opinion you can never get rid of these elements in a forum like this, nor should you really try, but by sticking to your mission statement you can keep those kinds of ideas at a low level.
