[GK3]

I'm not an alum, but I've been a fan of Stanford sports and the broader Stanford community for half a century. As much as I value and appreciate the sports discussions on this board, I very much appreciate the comparatively few OT discussions. You're right...political discussions can be found anywhere on the internet. They're typically run and populated by polemicists, and different opinions aren't really welcome. The intellectual capacity of the participants on those political boards wouldn't power a light bulb, generally speaking, or they're drowned out by the bots and bad actors.

I like to read the various opinions of the uniformly intelligent and many brilliant people on this board, whether it's for COVID or Ukraine or Israel/Hamas or any other topic. I always learn something and the discourse is almost exclusively cordial and respectful. I'd like it to stay that way.

+1 Amen
