I'd say the extreme reactionary denial or nixing of politics at this site is more or less baloney... the problem is not politics although how such is discussed can become so. There are aspects of "politics" in various forms in everything, including the air we breathe and the water we drink. (via environmental issues or through politics related to same carried out by mankind) There are politics of various forms in all religions and spiritual ways since mankind is involved. Religions and spiritual ways are not divorced from politics, their leaders and students need the ability to exist safely in this world which is not possible in a vacuum of non-politics among human beings. So I'd say its time to get real on the subject which is really covered/protected by the already existing site guidelines for interactions among members...thus the knee-jerking should stop if someone dares to bring up things that affect all of us...and which may be uncomfortable to some.
