We, as moderators, are deleting battles between people. They seem to be mostly about who is involved, not the purported subject of the thread.
It could be called trolling.
 
As it seems to usually be the same people involved, we’ve decided to remove the people.
So please, consider what you have to say. 
We have decided to stop it. Political discussion is one thing, but these seem to be excuses to attack one another. They don’t end, and they get nastier as time passes.
 
If you find your membership disappeared, or you’ve been blocked, let the Mudcat moderators know why they should let you back in.
You can contact them through joe@mudcat.org

Please know that decisions, both on suspension and reinstatement, will be by consensus. No one person decides.

I’m going to close this thread. There is no discussion.
