But isn't politics ALL in one's opinion and views.
Why delete (censor) words?
If someone (and I am very guilty) is being too partisan and you do not like what they have to say in a certain post is it not better to just skip it? Someone else may like or may want to read that OPINION, and find it helps them.
By banning or deleting words, ideas, opinions and arguments just because they muddy up the waters or are too one sided or don't meet your standards of debate, is censorship.
And who decides what words, thoughts, ideas, views opinions to ban? Because it would eventually get to not just words but all those other "divisive" and partisan and whatever that doesn't allow "debate" to run smoother.
Politics like religion are passion points to people and they will argue thier points, they are usually set in their views and very rarely switch. The only thing this board can do is allow views out so that people know why and how the other views a certain issue. And perhaps persuade the undecided or in some cases find common ground.
It all boils down to passion and wanting to have your view seen. By deleting and censoring you take away the passion and will eventually have nothing to talk about because you cannot have a politics board or debate issues without passion in your belief.... it's boring and is textbook. This is the real life textbook examples do not apply and without passion in your views and beliefs why care?

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
