Dave, this isn't meant to be a new political discussion, just a rhetorical contribution to the general understanding. So much is happening on the geopolitical tablet that we can certainly talk about upheavals of historical dimensions. A lot of people are just scared and don't understand what's happening. Hopefully not so many valuable accounts will be lost. Resulting disputes go too quickly "ad hominem", that shouldn't happen, that's the real but seemingly unavoidable problem.

Thank's for your patience and good work.

The reason we discourage politics as much as both of us love to talk about the subject ourselves is that it is a quasi religion for many. A sensible open minded discussion would not be a problem but when someone has to violently challenge the slightest hint at something that they disagree with it means that any tiny comment becomes a huge flame war. That is why we discourage politics because some can have a debate and accept that others think differently and agree to disagree others have to go on a mission to put everyone right on what "they" "think" is the truth.

You will note that in actual fact many a thread while not started as political has turned political once the starting topic was dealt with and it remained and was allowed to happen because users were polite and did not rage at one another like children over the slightest hint of something they disagree with.

Ed.Kloonk:
Politics is everywhere. We need to get with the times. Dancing around the truth only drives people other than the normies away from a platform.

Denying political discussion is your right. But you are riding a dinosaur.

Simon:
Perhaps you should read my post again, then try to take part in a thread that is a shouting match over who's lie is the truth. You really have no idea what it is like to moderate political stuff without throwing the baby out with the bath water. This is an electronics forum, not face book. alternatively to do it your way we start banning people which won't go down well either apparently. Which one do you prefer?

thinkfat:
I hope you shot mechatrommer, too? Wouldn't be fair otherwise.
