Not a few times, political views arise on some of the ON topic threads.
Usually these get discouraged and run their course quickly.
"Off Topic" threads can get political, and do.
My personal observation has been that members' views are, commonly enough, in passionate opposition, but the discourse is much more civil than many discussion boards where name calling and insults degrade the quality.
Perhaps this is due to our common goal of surviving/fixing/leaving our sexless marriages. We are united, so these political differences mustn't interfere with the mission.
That said, seeing people sound off with issues you find disturbing may sour your experience.
Be prepared to click away and return to the On Topic threads, or select a different thread within Off Topic with a less controversial topic getting discussed.
