Why is political off topic worse than any other off topic?

Richard,

Your swearing was not so terrible. You are just trying to make
your point!
I agree with you, I don't mind a little joking around now and then,
but political stuff especially doesn't belong here. It just makes
people angry. It makes it hard to find the *real* clarinet-related
topics
when the subject header doesn't even always match the actual
subject. I know I have gotten a little off-topic myself in the past,
but *never* about politics. Anyway, I am trying to behave from
now on. There have been far too many messages to sort through,
and I really have wasted "valuable practice time" on the computer!

Sue

P.S. My clarinet beckons.......
