I have been getting some grief about...

.... removing movie "reviews" from the Brokeback Mountain listing that were political in nature and from people who had not seen the movie.

Just to clarify where I stand on this stuff, I feel pretty strongly that a review should be of the item at hand (see the site rules.) I also feel pretty strongly that political statements, if left unchecked, can infect virtually every topic of discussion.

And that would be bad for the site, IMHO.

So you if you want to create a Weblist about moral decline or moral progress that includes the movie Brokeback Mountain, knock yourself out.

Just don't pollute a page for movie reviews with your politics.
