Thanks. I was a few hundred messages behind again, and was sad for the political discussion, and surprised it took this long for someone to mention it violating the rules and spirit of what the network is about.

Sad, mostly because I _like_ having a place where I don't have to think about whatever terrible political things there are.

And _also_, because I _know_ I disagree vehemently with some users on these topics (heck, knowing how I am, I probably disagree vehemently with everyone due to my pedantry), but I can still think positively about them because we have this hobby in general, among other commonalities.

And that's important, because, while we're all "strangers on the internet" to some extent, this is also a group of people where I've been interacting with some of you for five years, now.

For what it's worth, I wouldn't mind discussion along the lines of, "I went to a political rally for (candidate)" with a discussion about personal experience.

But I want to know _people_, not political opinions. And I want to _like_ most everyone here.
