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.

People will find a way to be disrespectful one way or another if that's what they are like. To say we can't talk about this topic or thay topic because it offends some seems to defeat the whole purpose of this site where members speak of all manner of topics which are offensive to some but they are looking for the few that they can relate to; thus the name "Similar Worlds "

It's not a matter of why can't people be respectful. They can. They just won't if they are control freaks and refuse to be tolerant of ideas they themselves do not espouse. These people demand 100% agreement with their views and punish those who don't conform to their arrogance. Silencing people who want to discuss delicate issues in a reasonable and respectful manner is not the answer. Open minded people are open to allow views other than their own to be discussed. Those who get offended and abusive should not be able to dictate through their abuse what we can and can't talk about.
