    More discussion about Forum policy on politics

    Shutting down a discussion like this is just flat-out anti-intellectualism. If you refuse to even define your anti-idea policies in a way that makes sense, you're just begging for the abolition of real ideas.


    I'll be away from here, at least for a while.

    Why is it so hard for people to understand this is a forum about large format photography. Not politics, religion, 35mm cameras, medium format cameras, bad jokes or what you ate for breakfast. Not that hard, really. Good luck with those "real idea" forums out there.

    +1. I'm in a horse-racing handicapping forum that allows politics, etc., and it's amazing how many decent, educational threads head south as soon as there is any mention of politics. etc. I would hope this forum would never change this rule.

    Why is it always called South? That, sir, is political as hell.
    Is there something wrong with the polar opposite of North?

    It would be just as bad to use the latest lingo of "gone to the left", eh?

    What the hell Paul? This is hardly a new policy.

    I come here to escape the TV news, endless barrage of what this, or that candidate said or did today....
    Real cameras are measured in inches...
    Not pixels.
