OK, so we've had a few threads here lately that either discussed, or turned into discussions that were not about music. We've also had complaints that these threads should be shut down because they are not about music, or at least the main topic is not music. So I figured maybe we could have a compromise.
A jazz forum of which I am a member has separate categories for "Non-Music Discussion" and "Current Events". The only thing that is off limits for discussion is religion, which is understandable. Could we do the same thing here as well? People originally come here to discuss music, however, people also become friends with other members and it is a community. I love music, and I discuss music with my friends, but I don't talk strictly about music with them, even the ones that are musicians. People make friends here, and sometimes they want to discuss other issues and get the opinions of other people that they have gotten to know. So, like the jazz forum, why don't we create these separate categories? That way the members that want to discuss things other than music can talk about them there, and the people who are only interested in discussing music don't have to go there.
