The boards administrators and moderators have been keeping an eye on these threads, for obvious reasons.
While I'm happy to say that for the most part discussion has been courteous and respectful of other members' feelings, at the same time we're conscious that this topic is one on which feelings run very high indeed. And equally we're conscious that, actually, people tend to come to these boards to get
away from real life, including politics.
So, while we're not intending to close down either thread, we'd just ask people to consider now whether it's time to take political discussions to forums specifically created for them.
That doesn't include questions about processes; I, for one, have found the posts on that topic fascinating and informative. However, I suspect some people would now like to say goodbye to the 'Yay! Bush won!' and 'I'm so depressed' posts.
It's not as if there isn't lots of other stuff to talk about!
