Karel:
Talking about politics on this forum should be avoided. I have never seen coming any good from it.
Besides, there are many other places where you can discuss politics. No need to do it here.

If you don't mind we decide what is fair and we are the ones that get the reports. We know very well who is worse and is also a bit of a pain.

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

Allowing unnmoderated political discussion on a technical forum is forum suicide. I've seen forums destroyed because of it.

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?

I read your post again, as suggested. It is inflammatory to say that I have no idea. We are both looking for the right way forward. PM if you want, since I hate having to mince my words. Otherwise, all good.

I would suggest more than once.

This is difficult for some - getting caught up in the shouting match is an easy trap.

Moderation done properly is not easy.  I speak from my experience as a Mod on another forum.  Criticism against Mods is usually because (a) the complainants do not understand the issues (including the fact that they do not know all the details and that they are not entitled to that information) or (b) the Moderators are poorly suited to the role.  The latter does not apply here - and I am more than happy with the way it is.
