It's death by a million paper cuts.... people who have to point out if something is political (and many times are wrong, or it's so subtle that it doesn't really matter), those who inadvertently post something that could be taken in a political light (such as a non-political statement from a politician, then see the first group of people), people who are obsessed with politics but their comments are so thinly-veiled it's more eye-roll inducing than anything (then see the first group of people again).
I really think it's the discussion about those groups of people that are killing the thread far more than the actual posts... I've seen very few blatantly political posts this week, and even then only a couple discussions that were DC-like.
It's the theory of "if everyone would ignore BlackBob, he'd just go away", because the alternative is to kick out at least a couple of the most active people in this thread...... not that I'm against Daface's idea, though.
Glad you're finally well on the road to recovery.
