So, the staff and I talked about the thread and came to a conclusion for how to deal with political content.  We have updated the rules, it basically says we don’t allow it.   The reasoning is because we are a mental health based community, as politics are a very touchy subject they could lead to conflict within the community and I felt like to get ahead of the potential issues  that may come later on and update the rules.  It just happened that your thread brought up the political question on whether to allow it on the forums or not.
