Dave Ambrose Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 I think this has run its course, and like the Airing of Grievances at Festivus, needs to come to an end. Religion and politics have always been forbidden here, even as humor. First, they aren't relevant to model cars. Second, they are topics that generate a lot of contention, and rarely have what could be considered correct and verifiable answers. You can generally assume that if it has the picture of a current or past POTUS, it's political. If you're in doubt, ask a mod first. If you want those kinds of discussions, there are plenty of other places to have them. I would remind people that while criticizing behavior is nominally allowed, it should be done with kindness and care. There is a very fine line between that and an ad hominum* attack which will get you in plenty of hot water with the moderators. *I highly recommend this Wikipedia article. Paul Graham's hierarchy of argument is very useful for characterizing both your own behavior, and that of others.
