How often do you (figuratively) bite your tongue on VT?

* This is off the net - it was inspired by the women's v-ball forum and it refers to politics, but it is about neither v-ball nor politics. Bite your tongue if you are inclined to change that.

Often, on the volleyball board people throw in political comments. Some of these are deeply misguided and some are just false. My strong inclination is to answer, but I don't because it would lead the thread down an ugly rabbit hole and I hate it when that happens.

I'm wondering if it's just me or do others struggle with not getting sucked in by off topic blather on the volleyball threads?

Would 'cut off your fingers' be an equivalent expression?

See Wolfgang's post. I don't always (ha) manage to follow his guidelines, but they are good ones.
