I used to enjoy this forum
....but now there are too many posts pertaining to politics. Come on, people! Some of us come on here to "get away from it all." We don't want to hear about politics! It's gotten entirely too ugly & vile in here. Can we get back to talking about travel & Europe?? Puhleeezeeee???

It's simple, just ignore the "silly" threads and refrain from answering them, it will save having them systematically reappear at the top. Concentrate on the interesting ones that truly add value. The forum will clean itself automatically. Some people/subjects are better left alone.

Jane Doe, <BR>I completely understand what you mean, and even by ignoring them , they do seem to linger more than they should! <BR>What I have done recently to lighten things up for myself, is do a text search and reread some threads that I really enjoy, such as ones about books, movies europe related, or beautiful places ,restuarants that people have experienced. <BR>I have found this very helpful.It reminds me why I enjoy this site so much.

Hi! You're right unfortunatly. I've ben coming to these posts for about 2 yrs. and took a break for a while. When I returned I found it different. People have become nastier and more politics have entered the site. I wonder if the love of travel is missing and the site is being used by grumpy people who are not really inclined to travel or are armchair travelers.Yes politics is important but but putting it into perspective this is not the place to vent anger at the presidency or anything pertaining to politics other than people know that a lot off folks visit this site and they will get a reaction. I agree lets get back to travel.

I agree. I came here looking for advice, but have found people to be very judgemental and downright nasty sometimes. Everyone has the right to an opinion. If my budget allows me to go on a ten day tour of Europe and that's it, then that's all that I can do. I don't deserve to be insulted when I come here asking questions. If I had an unlimited busget, then I owuld gladly spent three weeks in each country, but I don't have that option right now.
