The idea here in my mind is this is an electrical site and while humor is certainly allowed we are not going to take any chances with any controversial subjects.
Yes that means that some fun things end up being off limits.
We have to remember we are not just sitting in our living room having a private conversation with our friends.
When we post here it is like standing in the middle of unknown, diverse crowd and shouting out our personal opinions without regard for others.
As was so well stated by Walrus
If I want to discuss Politics their are millions of other sites but from I seen their is only one ECN.
I could not say it better myself also there is no reason you can not email each other directly if you feel you must talk politics, unions, religion etc with members of this forum.
