Please do not turn this thread into a judgment on the South Africa thread.
That thread is open because @Laura wants it that way, there is no more reason than that, and that is enough.
Laura is the one who makes this site possible, so absolutely no one can argue with her.
Personally, I do not like that thread, that is why I disregarded it, I do not like what is said or how it is said, but I have to accept it.
A forum is not a democracy, but no one is forced to be here, so if someone is uncomfortable, they already know the exit door.
I think the community would be better off if we put politics aside and focused on chastity belts. I see politics as just a way to erode the community.
