Plus, if we got rid of all the non-astro topics in the general section, it will be a very boring place.

Look at the current diversity

I think 15 of the current threads, including this one, on the first page are non-astronomy related.

We come here as we gather under a common interest and discuss topics of interest to us. I love reading all the chit chat. I though, like others, do not like the personal negativity that people show when they don't agree with an opinion. As soon as you make the negativity against someone personal, you belittle only yourself.

Absolutely!

Not surprising. It's only in the past 30 years or so that the penguins finished eating the last of the Antarctic Polar Bears.
