| Good decision! One of the reasons I encouraged Facebook was so people could get their "social fix" somewhere else. Dont discourage discussion of other history eras though! I'll be pissed! . . |

| Might not be a bad idea in the current climate of upheaval to get away from talking politics. Especially with the new "thought laws" and "fairness doctorine" on the way. Enough feelings have been hurt and too much misunderstanding has occurred. |

Presumably discussion of politics only applies to those polititians not already dead.

| Freebird, did you mean "Presumable discussion of politics only applies to politicians that are currently living"? The answer is no. Discussion of polics in any format other than posts #1, #2 or #3 of this thread will invoke the Mod's wrath.

| Gracias a Dios! Like BombTaxi, I myself have become involved in some political flamefests against my better judgment. Venganza

| I was not here when this decision was made, but I 100% stand by what fellow mods have decided. I used to be for the Politics section because I thought it would take away from the hijacking of the really important threads on this forum, i.e. Aviation and WW2 threads. It did not do that however, and I am sick of the politics threads. If it carries over to Aviation threads or WW2 threads, bannings will occur. I am tired of the bullshit, as are my fellow mods!

| I'm alright with it. The political threads could get pretty heated. Um, does that mean if you are talking about a war leader, say Winston Churchill or Abe Lincoln, you should just stick to their decisions regarding a war, and stay away from their political history not related to that?
