But I’m gonna be honest here – I think the no politics rule is unevenly applied By my reading people can say things that are political as long as they are considered to take a progressive slant. They can’t go too far with it but they can make some comments and they get by with it. As soon as somebody tries to suggest (and I’ve seen it done rarely on this board - and always respectfully) that there may be other opinions worthy of at least expressing and thinking about (gosh imagine that) or even that things may be slightly more nuanced then the progressive take, it gets shut down.
So well put and spot on.
And I will say it again - if you see a thread that you feel is going political and has no ties to COVID-19, please feel free to speak up. We generally don't shut anything down until we get complaints, so if you see something, say something.
From my vantage point, Monday morning quarterbacking about moderation is about as satisfying as it is about football. =P
