This thread has been locked, as it was agreed by a sufficient number of Moderators that some of the posts had stepped outside the CoC rules about political posts. The "offending" posts have either been deleted by the original poster or at the request of the original poster, so the posts you can still see are not the posts in question.
We're going to keep this thread locked, since it simply has too much potential for becoming a political discussion. We appreciate the efforts of those who posted in it and didn't take things in a political direction, and realize that the posts that did get deleted were made with good intentions.
