> I see nothing wrong with discussing politics rationally and civilly.
No. I don't see how anybody could have a problem with that...
> Dr. Bob isn't taking sides or supporting the US.
I don't think he means to take sides...
But I think he is weighing in how people feel...
And the trouble with that (especially when politics is involved) is that there can be strong feeling either way...
And hence when there is a clash of the feeling then what to do?Go with the strongest feeling...
Or go back to rationality...
> He's upholding the rules of this *site*, which are not different just because it's the politics board. Any more than it's different on the Religion Board.
Ah. So my blocking was consistent with the 'rules of this site'?
You can't critique a political ideology.
Can you critique a book? I have. Didn't get blocked for that...
Can you critique a variety of therapy? I have. Didn't get blocked for that...
I don't think there is consistency between the politics boards and the other boards.
