Well, the best thing to do is to ask Toph, for sure.
(Toph, I'm sorry to be talking about you as if you're not here - I hate that - but I did want to find a way to answer Pat's question. Please feel free to straighten me out on anything I've assumed incorrectly, etc.)
I thought it was reasonable to see Toph's post as a response to Sigismund's comments on "previous administrations," as part of that post was quoted at the start.
Most of the list of phrases posted are commonly associated with negative descriptions of the administration, or policies, of former President G.W. Bush. When I asked that those sort of comments not be posted, posters who supported him and his administration, as well as *any* other administrations before Preident Obama's, are the individuals I was thinking could feel put down.
Reasonable people can disagree and misinterpret, and that includes deputies. But, as Dinah has posted recently, we are trying to administrate regarding Politics-related posts as evenhandedly as possible, in accordance with Dr. Bob's wishes, and with an eye toward support and education.
