Oh stop being such a wuss. Politics is verboten period....regardless of beliefs. You know it.. I know it.

I wish that were true. The mods never seem to notice the bashing, they only notice the response to the bashing.

There are a few, who due to their prolific or technically valuable posts ( exempli gratis Ken) who get more rope w political content.
But even there, the last 3 times I saw, example mentioned was asked to delete his scurrilous TDS rants, and did so ( once he got it off his chest and calmed down) within 5-10 responses.

@Ian is in a tough spot. He. needs to keep traffic, while being fair. He has gone through a good number of mods over the years with large swings of control/ overwatch styles. IMO I think he had the smallest mod depth ever last year, but they did among the best jobs I recall. A lot of “hands off - let them play” attitude, but there when it mattered.
