    Mods keep removing political comments in a post that’s clearly political. But leave the post up. Nice!

      Also somewhat amusing that my reply about the US Constitution, our founding political document, remains up. Discussing the Constitution is about as political as you can get.

      At any rate, I didn’t realize there was a new rule here. I get it though, election year and all.

        I removed the comment above yours. I took the approach that where a comment could reasonably be interpreted as a hypothetical question (or response to), and thus not about actual US politics as they are occurring, they were left up. It’s about trying to remove posts and comments that are against the purpose of the community, but also respecting those that are not. Personal judgement is often required and not everyone will agree with every decision. Shades of grey…
