I think this is nothing to worry about.  After all, I'm a big fan of 
democracy and still think it's better than other forms of government (please 
don't take the discussion down *that* road too far).  But the main point 
here is that it's everybody's own decision whether he / she participates in 
these threads.  With a little experience you can easily detect those threads 
and ignore them if you feel like it.  And since you're using gmail you don't 
have to worry about space and or bandwidth either, do you? :-)

Definitely.

To sum up: I'm totally with David and I think we should take his statement 
for what it is: a warning notice, a reminder to maybe more often try to keep 
some focus but not more - especially not any form of censorship.

Kind regards
