Now, I don't have to deal with it as long as I stay in PPOT and away from PARF. I think it's great.

Amen to that. I also tend to be passionate about politics and find it hard to turn down a good argument. But passion and annonymity don't go well together, and I typically just ended up frustrated. In-person discussions of politics rarely get nasty like they do online.

I just avoid PARF and PPOT is fun again.
