Stop in for a cup of coffee

See - this is EXACTLY the problem. You want absolute where there can be none without putting a stranglehold on things. I don't want a stranglehold on things. But I also don't want political stuff outside of the politics forum. So tell me, how exactly would YOU fix the problem?

So your idea is to let things happen and then clean it up after? How about this -- lets avoid the problem in the first place and keep politics in the politics forum. Or I could do what some others have asked and just delete this thread completely. That would solve the problem too right?

Here's a suggestion: we have a rule that states a discussion becomes political when a politican or other political party enters into the fray.

Example of what would be allowed: Hey, my take home pay increased due to the recent tax cuts.

Example of what would NOT be allowed: Hey, Congress cut taxes but increased the deficit.

See the difference?
