No idea what went down here but... there is a politics area for politics. There is a terms of service you agree to when you sign up. It isn't about censorship, it's about not letting the website melt-down over political discussions. Seen it happen in many forums. Political discussions become a disease. The idea here is keep it confined to the politics forum, which is a compromise, but if I was running a forum I'd have an absolute no politics policy period. You probably have no idea to what political discussions can escalate to. Doxing, threats, authorities getting involved. It's crazy, but it's the reality.
