I don't know. Muffins are nice and it's a good tradition but ultimately it's a bit repetitive. It seems to me that perhaps the key word here is fighting? If it's an actual discussion it's possibly worth people's time, but what becomes very quickly exasperating is the constant insults and perhaps some people seem to just want to hear themselves talk... just thinking. I have heard the complaints about politics here and I am not really sure if it is olitics in se that people don't like or what happens when politics get talked.
