I’ll surmise that anyone that posts here for any length of time will eventually trip the mods into a deletion of Something that strikes them as a boundary misstep.
It’s a edgy sort of gig riding herd on a group with conflicting views and opinions.

I don’t envy them, the sort of thing that endears no one....

Want to suggest a Prime movie spouse and I watched tonight, called Frequencies.

Not so much about audio, but it’ll tickle any thoughts about the human condition and what an alternative ’approach’ could entail.....

There’s an interesting end that might raise a smile....and we plan to watch it again....

Often.

What’s your problem?

The only reason I commented was that I thought we could be a little more tolerant of the OP’s position. He was only political in the most general sense. I was also suggesting we could be a little more chilled and stop the name calling. Is that not mellow?

I believe he was referencing a hit by the artist whose last name is your handle on this site. 

As to mixing topics, I think any rational adult can discuss more than one thing at a time and I'm bemused by those who don't. I don't freak out when someone brings up something automotive, or sports related, or their favorite whisky, but for some reason politics is the third rail. My theory is that people bristle at having to defend  indefensible positions. The fact that these discussions sometimes devolve into name calling and edge lord behavior doesn't mean they should be avoided at all costs, in fact just the opposite. Sunlight is still a fantastic disinfectant.
