"Based upon this thread thus far many simply believe that you can alienate and exclude a person from music and our community just because of political views. Sad."

   You say "just because of political views" like it's of no more importance than ones preference for coffee over tea or draught beer over bottled, to borrow from one of your other threads. Well, political views define a person like taste preferences never could, and if you espouse repugnant political views then YOU are repugnant.
