That would likely eliminate most of the relevant posts from showing up on your page.

The topic has always been this divisive. It's normal confined to the I/P forum, but right now it's really big national and international news, which means it's going to appear frequently in GD for the foreseeable future.

I've found it useful to put a number of posters on ignore. Some of them are just too bloodthirsty in their attitude for me to stomach, but I do try to keep up somewhat on the latest news. Putting people on ignore makes the discussions easier to stomach for me. I do understand just not wanting to deal with it here at all though.
