we give everyone a place to discuss politics because lots of people want to discuss politics. We keep it separate and strictly run in order to keep it somewhat civil. If you can't keep it civil you lose the priviledge of discussing in that forum. That's the way it is. We've discussed it at length both amongst the staff as well as in various feedback threads. The way we run EotW is based on stare decisis. It's settled. Maybe someday we will come to a wholesale reëvaluation of the policy and precedent will be overturned. If that happens, we'll let you know. You can continue to bring new arguments into feedback, that's one reason it's here, but it will take a lot to overturn the precedent we've established.
