I don't know if this poll has ever been conducted. I don't know if Admin conducted a poll or continue to take opinions.
I don't know if it's considered against rules or policy.
My opinion is that it could provide the opportunity for chitchat and healthy discussion, but sadly it is often abused for political agenda.
I think political discussion is healthy discussion as long as contributors are responsible with the accuracy of their posts and not resorting to abuse.
Unfortunately, what I've seen, that is not the case.
So I would vote: Occasionally, with the comment that the occasional advantage is far outweighed by the more usual resorting to abuse.
