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.

Trying not to put too finer point on it..
But my question is, in the last few years, the political awareness of the average random, is that still the case?

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.

I'll phrase my response this way....
If you were to be a Mod here, the place would suffer.
