So should I also allow people to post golf scores in the Current Events forum? How about people just leaving random posts about "I have X posts so far in this forum!" in the middle of the Religion forum?
Perhaps we can stop being PoliticalForum and start being the IrrelevantTopicForum... But we even have a forum for that purpose!

A post in off-topic saying "The posts in the Race Issues thread suck!" might actually be in the right place... whether flamebait or not.
But I would suspect that in the Racial Issues forum... we should have threads about discussing racial issues rather than literary critique.
