If it were "On Topic" it would be about Lake Martin Topics, Boat Maintenance, etc. Off topic means it is not about the topic of the lake or other lake-related stuff. I very much enjoy the banter here and have learned a lot, been alerted to a number of interesting articles and videos and enjoy debating my views with others. Yes it sometimes becomes contentious as would most discussions about issues like politics and religion. And at times it does get too personal as it often does with those same topics.

Since it would appear that the Off Topics forum has evolved into a mostly political discussion and you don't enjoy that my suggestion is to spend your time on the Lake Martin Topics. I read it as often as the Off Topic and find it very broad in terms of the lake-related topics. And considering it has almost 77,000 messages versus the ~20,000 on Off Topic it seems very well represented.
