We discuss all sorts of other stuff that isn't related to bikes but maybe wabbit has a point about 'time and place'.
Perhaps this 'thread' isn't the right place to discuss those things but I think it's like a normal conversation. You start talking about one thing and you go off on tangents then come back to the original topic.
Maybe someone should start a thread on religion in the Lounge. I'd certainly participate because I believe that no matter what the subject, God should be central. Anyone wanting to ignore such a thread could do so.
Someone could also start a thread on gun control in the Lounge. I would choose to ignore such a thread because guns aren't such an issue here in Australia and it doesn't interest me.
