If I am not wrong, this is the first Election Year that CP has weathered.
That being said, I think it is only fair to be aware that when a bunch of people with a common hobby get together during an Election Year, there WILL be debate, nothing will stop it. Wouldn't it be better to let it run it's course, and it will be over shortly after the election? I think that would be better than censorship, cause once the polotics are done, all any of us will remember is the Duct Tape over our collective mouths.
Of course, that is just my Oppinion and I will of course abide by the rules, it just seems that these rules are better suited to a 3rd grade classroom than a collection of oppinionated adult males (with a select few equally oppinunated women)
