Unfortunately, I’ve observed a pattern on this forum that whenever there’s even small flecks of politics, very especially American politics, people just jump in with their red herring fallacies or similar, and thus the original topic becomes derailed.
So I believe whenever those flecks are present, the team should keep a close eye on it. Otherwise, it’ll just end up like this, which, quite frankly, was poorly-moderated. And that “discussion,” personally, made me re-evaluate my view on some people.
