I'm in complete agreement with Timber as well. What's wrong with a little light-hearted political fun poking? And I for one certainly wouldn't care if someone decided to post a number of anti-Kerry/Nader/Blair/whatever pictures - as long as political jokes aren't of a malicious and deeply insulting nature (say, for example, tasteless comparisons of a candidate to a mass murderer), I'm cool with it. Heck, political humour - that we can see *every* evening nowadays anyway, ranging from Letterman to Leno to SNL and TDS - is the only thing that make the bore that is the world of politics even remotely bearable.
Of course, while I may disagree with a possible ban of political images, it's not my forum; and I will respect whatever decision Ziroc takes. It's just a bit of a disappointment that the ones closing the topics don't even give an explanation for the closure - if you've decided to ban these images, why not simply tell us? That way we can at least avoid similar problems in the future.
