i propose that political discussions not be banned.

@rob is this what you meant?

Yes, welcome.

@heather OK, well, what benefit does it bring to the room to not ban political discussions?

Given our recent discussion about PC-ness, I find Bernardo's ban amusing.

@DavidZ, discussion about a topic that interests people.

as long as it doesn't become rude or insulting, I don't think its a problem.

The thing is, it regularly does become rude or insulting.

All mentions of anything political have been deleted and nipped in the bud. I think that's the decisively wrong approach, personally.

@heather Look at what happened: SNL sketch gets posted, next thing is "the left is politically insane". This is absolutely typical of what a mention of politics quickly devolves into, and it does no benefit to anyone to wait until that happens.
