I think politics to the extent it was directly relevant to our content has been fair game, and allowed over the years. IMO, it can be a slippery slope to let it run wild though. I was quite active on another shooting site in another discipline that added a "political discussion" section. I thought it was a disaster with endless threads, fostering dissension amongst members that had previously had constructive discussions on a regular basis. Additionally, the anti's, and trolls came out of the woodwork throwing gasoline on every discussion. Of course one could block or choose to not participate in such threads, but this does, in my view, have a a negative effect effect that can surely distract, dilute, and suck the life out of an enjoyable site. I am as interested as anyone in what's going on from a political standpoint…….But I participate on this site to take a refreshing break from it.
