Just my 2 cents.

Ah, but the forum initially allowed this thread (and many others like it with political overtones) to be aired here.
Once the thread unfolds and the opinions voiced are not all of a certain partisan viewpoint, now out comes a hue and cry calling for silencing the discussion (AKA blitzes & crackdowns).
When it comes to imploring the moderators of any list to act as speech and thought police, it has a chilling effect upon any forum or community.
Be careful of what you wish for, as you may get it. The heavy hand of authority is a burden to all who are subjected to it.
