Political Philosophy discussion

[Quintillus]

Moderator Action: Trolling each other is against the forum rules. This has escalated far beyond civil debate. I am issuing temporary thread bans for the posters trolling each other to enforce a cooling-off period, and the moderation team will be evaluating points for trolling and flaming for those involved in it.

Moderator Action: Two-day thread bans have been migrated to this thread following the migration of political posts to this thread. Posts made in the interim have been deleted.

Once this period ends, discussion may resume (and discussion by other posters may immediately), but please remember that the other posters here are Civilization players, not people making political decisions. Treat them like you would an acquaintance at a coffee shop, not like an enemy political leader or enemy soldier. Remember the "civil" part of "civilization".

Moderator Action: Update: Arakhor has deleted the most heated posts, if you're reading this later and wondering why there are moderation comments here.
