A certain forum moderator fueled the political controversy as he has in other threads in the past. He is the only moderator i have ever observed who does so. Other members have mentioned his antics also. Most members have been very restrained regarding the inherent politics of this topic here in this thread.
If you think a post is political, report it. Usually there's one post that starts the political tone and then the replies are all taken out along with that. Normally I would remove them all but it looks like the thread is back on track.
