My suggestion is to either eliminate all covid discussions or have a "free for all" one with warnings that the faint of heart should stay out. That doesn't mean no moderation but very limited.
Anyway back to our regularly scheduled RV discussions.

The effect of Covid 0n RVing is the intent of that discussion area. Covid is a medical issue and it's effect on RVing can easily be discussed without bringing any personal political bias or insults to the table. It isn't a matter of whether an individual member believes in any political agenda, conspiracy theory, vaccine effects, or touted "science". You know the ground rules for the discussion, play within the rules. Informing the forum of a newly enacted requirement at a particular campground, State, National Agency or Chain or the effect Covid is having on a particular RVing area (like manufacturing, parts availability, etc) can easily be done without expressing your political beliefs on the reason behind that requirement/effect. You can say how stupid you think it is or applaud the requirement as "about time", and you can back up your argument to the point where you start expressing your political beliefs behind the requirement or resort to telling others how stupid they are for their reasoning. That's called a civil discussion.
