It has been necessary to delete a number of political posts in the last few days.
Quoting from our posting rules:
As we approach the upcoming US Election, it is only natural that interest in political topics increases and passions may run high, but you must find some other venue in which to discuss it. Years ago, when political discussions were allowed it nearly tore this board apart.
This is a zero-tolerance issue. Effective immediately, further political posts involving the November 2012 election, including post-election results, WILL result in immediate suspension of posting privileges when discovered.

Avoid posting about politics, religion, or contentious social issues
Unless directly related to timesharing, such discussions are prohibited in these forums, including TUG Lounge. We've been down that road before, it was ugly, and we are not going there again.
