I agree, politics excites passions. This is a good thing (mostly) for democracy, but it is better to focus on our shared love of the game. Obviously that's where the real debates can happen as we fight to the death over the best home rules or preferred edition I don't do facebook, but wish the new group well.

Obviously that's where the real debates can happen as we fight to the death over the best home rules or preferred edition That’s it, exactly! Gaming is a leisure activity, and I prefer leisurely discussions with my gaming. I’ve nothing against politics or discussions and perhaps even healthy debate over same. But not at the gaming table. Let the rest of the folks gaming with you just enjoy themselves and have a good time free from the cares of the world for a couple of hours. I don’t think that’s a lot to ask of folks. I don't do facebook, but wish the new group well. To be frank, I pretty much hit my nausea limit with FB as well. It seems to have degenerated either into people warring over politics, or vomiting out the same mindless memes over and over again. There are exceptions, thankfully, but you’d be surprised what someone with an ax to grind can make into a political argument. The only reason I’ve stayed on is to keep in touch with my children and grandchildren, my seed has scattered around the world. With our disparate time schedules keeping track of each other with Facebook is easier.

FB is like any social media and more and more toxic over time.
I have had friends fail to get jobs that would have put money on the table because of something seen on their facebook. I have had a acquaintance fired for what his brother put on his facebook.
Most of all, I just do not like THAT many people. I mean ok I worked with a guy three years ago who was "work ok" but not friends outside of work. Do I really need to know what he is up to or what he thinks about my granddaughters new jumper? Also for the love of all that is holy..... Do I need to see my sisters best friends brother Dead Dog pics?
Just no.
No FB for me.
