PilotSpin doesn't close or lock threads.
Whatever your political persuasion, if you thoughtfully post, you'll get thoughtful replies.
If you insist on labeling, name-calling, stereotyping, trying to shut down a discussion with hateful noise, or other such behaviors, you'll just get ignored, as well you should.
If you show hypocrisy or narrow-mindedness, you may be called out, as will be the case if your arguments don't hold up and can be refuted.
The exchange of varying viewpoints on sensitive topics drew me to SZ and keeps me thinking about PilotSpin, and posting there, and getting thoughtful replies, as well as humor and good-natured pokes and asides that keep me, as SZ used to do, thinking about the world in a broader and more intellectually rigorous way.
There's also aviation discussion, science, religion, and of course, the Most Interesting Election in American History.
POA mods could free up some of their time by putting a sticky up on POA directing people to PilotSpin for controversial topics, unless the mods enjoy periodically having to huddle to decide what's okay and what isn't. At PilotSpin, people decide that for themselves.
With respect to POA and PilotSpin both, for their various strengths, which combine to make a diverse and robust community of aviation minds addressing topics across the spectrum of life,
