Typing in all caps is called flaming, and is considered rude.
Are politics considered an alright conversation topic?

No! There are certain words which aren't blocked by a filter because they can be used in both a profane and non-profane manner, but just as if you use certain characters (ie. "@") to trick the filter, using these non-filtered words in an abusive or derogatory manner will still result in warnings.

Flaming is typing a post all in capitals and is rude as it is considering yelling.
Are you allowed to talk about suicide or self mutilation?
