No politics or inflammatory discussion please

I removed several posts in the Chicken sandwich thread because
politics was brought into it.
Just because something has a political aspect doesn't mean you
have to bring it up.
Saying you boycott something for political reasons is a
political statement. And in and of itself, it's nothing. But,
it opens the door for other comments. And it's not really fair
when one person brings it up and then everyone else has to
refrain from adding on to the conversation in that direction.
Just don't go there. Most of you didn't and I appreciate
that!!!
Essentially, I don't want any kind of political/inflammatory
discussion that might attract the kind of attention that could
not only tear this place apart but put me at the center of some
very unwanted attention.
It seems to me that we live in a time where if you on the wrong
side of someone's argument, they are not content to live and let
live, but rather seek to destroy. And agreeing is not always
enough as you are then expected to crush/mute/censor the
opponent.
That's the main reason for the rule along with the added benefit
that it's nice to have a politics free zone.
And I realize that it sounds very dramatic and far fetched.
But, I don't care how far fetched it might be. I am most
comfortable with zero chance.
You're free to re-discuss topics that were allowed but
considered inflammatory on the old board like whether someone
can expect others to take their shoes off when entering someone
else's home.
That was a hotly debated topic. But, it's ok to discuss it here
because it's not the kind of inflammatory that will attract the
outside attention that I want to avoid. It was somewhat unique
to the ehell community.
Hopefully this helps everyone understand where I'm coming from.

I agree, too. Topics and opinions will range broadly enough
without politics. Thanks for fostering open discussions on
etiquette.
eHell was a daily source of knowledge, inspiration and engaging
dialog, and I love how this community is continuing to guide and
advise folks as boorish as I was (& still can be at times) to be
more thoughtful.

I belong to several Science Pages on Facebook. Whenever politics
or religion are brought up it ALWAYS turns into a monkeys
slinging you know what at each other argument. Thanks for doing
your best to keep that nonsense off BMB.
