Do you think the categories for Politics and Religion should be removed from SW?

Questions on those two topics always seem to result in the most toxic comment threads. What is the easiest way to stop those? Remove those two categories, I say.

I think if you removed them then people would just post their stuff in miscellaneous. I say leave the topic and I'll just avoid it. Much easier than me having to scroll through the drivel of hundreds of miscellaneous posts to find one that isn't religion or politics. People are going to post what they want no matter what the moderators do, short of banning them, so at least if they post in the right topic I can avoid it if I don't want to see it.

@FrankietheFly I don't know why. I try to be nice to everyone, but I do see mean folks being mean to weaker persons. I think the internet allows people to be too bold. I make it a rule to be real and to never act harsher on the net than I would if someone was sitting in front of me. Having been here from the start I based my response to what I saw firsthand. They added the additional categories because of what I described above. I think there is a way to adjust your interests not to see all of them, but I can't remember how to do it now.
