I am so glad about this. The unwashed masses are ruining this site with political drivel.

  Some of us unwashed masses [1] loathe political drivel and totally support [2] this move. 1 I only refer to myself as part of the unwashed masses because: A) I am not actually a programmer B) I am incredibly poor and C) I literally do not bathe frequently due to said extreme poverty as I am homeless. ;-) 2 Evidence of total support: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13108692 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13108692

    You seem exactly like the type of person that should be here, don't worry :) I don't know what they meant by "unwashed masses", but it kind of seems like there have been a lot of new posters coming here to talk about politics and nothing else. Honestly I think this site started getting mentioned a lot more on Reddit (especially the technology sub), and more people from there started posting here because they felt it was a more civilized place to discuss politics. That's true, but it's also specifically not a politics focused forum (unlike /r/technology) and I think that's messing some people up.
