While don't expect the filter comment wes *entirely* serious, he has a valid point. Regardless of the level interest in socio-political issues, the PLUG is meant to be a safe harbour to talk Linux. When you bring in unrelated societal issues, it makes PLUG yet another place for people to grind their own personal axes and inhibits the valuable Linux/FOSS discussion. While posting such things isn't exactly "forbidden", it is certainly quite rude. Imagine going into a business meeting and shouting about baseball teams. The people there will be interrupted, so their intended discussion topic will get sidetracked and everybody's time will be wasted. Naturally, you can expect many people to not be pleased with you for doing that, as its highly inconsiderate. Attachment:
