I agree with you to a certain extent on the politics issue. However, I hate cut and dry rules that fail to apply common sense in how they are implemented. When you take the time to become a contributor to an on-line message board community such as this one you expect to be able to discuss the biggest news story of the day. Whether that story is the George Zimmerman case, the God-awful shootings in Colorado, or the presidential debate. The morning after the presidential debate, the debate was the biggest news story going. It was being talked about everywhere. Just like the day after the upcoming election that will be the biggest news story going. To say that it can’t be discussed on a message board that many people frequent daily because there is this loosely defined “no political discussions” rule is downright silly. So no, I don’t have a problem with not being allowed to discuss the latest bill being held up in the Senate, but not being able to discuss something that everyone else in America is currently talking about is dumb, IMO.
