    I appreciate this comment – it follows free market principals.

    Unfortunately for some, OT posts are kind of like crack to a crack addict. People can’t resist, though they know they should. Even though they do it and they want to do it, it doesn’t mean its good for them or the forum. So, people complain to try and keep the forum on-topic.

    Sometimes OT posts are pertinent to the site content, but just don’t fit into the categories – like the “worst photos in the MLS.”

    Right now, there are only two OT political posts, one left over from pre-election that is obviously popular. There’s one about China that is labelled OT, but is really on-topic about economics.

    Today, I have nothing to complain about.

    Like I said – I think OT posts add personality and color as long as they are not overbearing, repetitive, caustic, or meant to provoke an argument bound to go nowhere.

    Why do people on this site complain about OT posts?

    Because even though they are uncontrollably drawn to them, they don’t like to read things that challenge their world view.
