We're not advocating, we're just reporting.

I still say no political opinions of any kind, no matter where they come from, should be posted on this website. And I've said it twice already, stop posting them, and then you wouldn't feel the need to warn readers about getting into political debates.

Then you mention they all seem to come from the same point of view, which makes those of us who don't feel just a tad ostracized, and makes the makeup of the Potterverse seem very homogenized. If a cast or crew member were to come out and say they were a Thatcherite, or a supporter of Sinn Fein or the UK Independence Party, Plaid Cymru or the British National Party, would they be accorded the same opportunity to have their views posted on this website?
