All very good reasons not to ban overtly political candidate advocacy threads, I agree; it goes to the foundations of free speech. But, just as it is in the religious issue, it's possible that Z has been thinking that the discussions have been getting too heated and/or uninformative.
I haven't personally noticed much (if any) of that, but maybe that's because I sometimes skip those threads. I certainly wouldn't support a blanket ban on threads/posts re: the American election, as it is a current political event with potentially large worldwide implications. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any threads that have been closed without warnings or explanation. I have a vague remembrance of seeing some discussion of a couple, but I never tried to post in them myself. Heh. What this post adds to the thread, I don't know. ![]()

Ok, thanks Groj. A definite point there. No real reason to close those, IMO.
