Well, I'm no longer a member of the admin team, but I do remember 
that a few months ago, while I was still on the admin team, we voted 
to rescind the so-called "banned topics," such as politics.  So, for 
one of the admin team to announce that a topic is too political seems 
to contradict the current list rules.

That said, I think Amanda has a point.  This thread does seem a 
fairly divisive.  I'm not going to participate in it, because I can't 
see that it will accomplish anything other than allow those of us 
that hate Limbaugh to argue with those who do.

Requesting that Cindy think twice before posting divisive topics in 
the future seems reasonable.  Shutting down the thread IF and WHEN it 
turns into a flamewar seems reasonable.  But I don't really that a 
member of the admin team should censor it.
