Updating the totals:
25 in favour of continuing to allow politics discussions here
14 neutral
18 against
1 'other'
So still fairly split, but the majority in favour of continuing the status quo.
We will continue to monitor the situation, though, including keeping an eye on discussion generally, and strongly encourage anyone who feels that discussion has become personal or offensive to let us know, either by PMing or emailing a mod or by using the report post button.
Of course, once the US Presidential election is over, I expect that the subject will die down for a bit, so if you really hate these threads you only have to keep your head down for another few weeks.
