I hope we do the poll. My guess is that the only three people who will vote in favor of keeping this topic, will be Rob, Helmut, and jmugz.

Here's an idea : since we all love our polls (or Poles, depending on where you're from), let's make one and ask if people want religious and political talk banned from the forum. No discussion would really be needed ; yes or no vote, majority rules. Fair? I've been reluctant to comment in this thread at all but I think a poll is a great idea - ask the forum members what they prefer. Simple, democratic. I love the forum and all my fellow ELO virtual friends but Honestly, this thread turns me off BIG TIME and if I were not already a member and stumbled across the forum as it looks today with this thread dominating the recent posts I probably wouldn't join. These were excactly my thoughts that potential new members would see this thread and be reluctant to post. I nearly closed the thread yesterday after 88keys post but thought I would sleep on it and see in the morning what I thought. I have now read the further comments and taking those into consideration I am locking the thread and request that no new threads on the subject are raised. I'm sorry if this isn't to everyone's choosing but as I've previously stated this is a music forum about ELO and Jeff Lynne. We do have a discussions section which we can post in about other subjects but let's keep it religion and politics free. Horace.

Any forum is only as good as it's members and they should also have a voice in how it is run, therefore why should I be forced into a decision regarding this thread, yes I'm a moderator but if the members want this thread then let them have it. Therefore I will keep the thread locked while we will run a poll for one week to see if the members want a thread on these subjects or not. Poll
