I can't support a rule like "no political content" on Planet Debian, because it's a horrily vague standard that could probably be used by anyone to agitate against any content they didn't like. Now, if Planet Debian were not running on Planet, but instead on ikiwiki, it would be easy for anyone to set up feeds excluding certian authors as has been done on Planet Debian upstream (http://updo.debian.net/) with eg, its rms-free feed. (Almost all of rms's posts are political btw, although not near the corner of the spectrum that triggered this thread.) That might be a better technical fix than others suggested in this thread, or not. Anyway, it seems to me that, based on this thread, certian posts on Planet Debian have had a trollish nature. After all, they've gotten us calling each other names like "condescending" and "parochial". -- see shy jo
