It's not politics when you feel contempt for all sides of an issue! That's just common sense! And I don't think there was any politics in that post since there was no hint as to which side of the issue the poster was on!

Besides - Politics is a part of life and life is what books are about. And let's be honest, AH is just someone's politics made just a little more concrete than normal. You simply can't create (or discuss) a book, ANY book, ANY genre, without some level of politics creeping in. Without it, you have Soviet style art. A North Korean parade!
I'd much rather have knock-down political arguments in a thread where people sob and call each other names than have a thread where everyone simply nods their collective heads and comment, "oh yes, that's quite good".
