You are joking aren't you? There have been countless posts made by the mods that COVID related posts on this board are forbidden and will lead to banning, although I think I'm one of the only people who have been banned, which is odd, as my COVID posts since that change in policy have only ever been in response to others who started COVID discussions, like this thread. It's almost certain that I'd be permanently banned had I started a COVID thread like this one. It is what it is and even my two posts in this thread will likely get me in trouble. Given I post way less than I used to, it wouldn't be the worst thing that could happen.Actually, what rule did he violate?
He raised a controversial subject, sure. And it's about senate hearings which are held by politicians. And such hearings are almost always pointless exercises in shameless vote-grabbing by Senators from both sides of the aisle.
But, IMO, it's not exactly political because, while the senators are being political 'cause it's their job, nobody here is forced to be engage in partisanship about the topic. People can (and should be able to) discuss such theories without resorting to partisanship.
