Please reread the forum guidelines.
http://www.celestiaproject.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6180

Politics, spam, sex and postings advocating illegal actions are among the topics which may not be posted to the Celestia Forums.

You've been warned about this before.

Daniel,

every user is supposed to have read the FORUM GUIDELINES in 'users'. The latter explicitly forbid certain kinds of messages in this forum, NO MATTER in which board!

These include ILLEGAL , POLITICAL , RELIGIOUS, SEX, PORN, ...subjects both in text and image form.

Anything else that is unrelated to Celestia can indeed be discussed in Purgatory. The name of this board is misleading, however, since originally, it means the "virtual location" between heaven and hell ;-) (good catholics still have a chance to escape from there to heaven, finally)

Originally, it was conceived as a place for 'crack pots and their 'relatives', yet meanwhile PURGATORY sometimes hosts among the most interesting messages ;-)

I missed the original post (and it might have been just as well ;)), but if you feel a need to espouse on something political, then feel free to sign up here: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/greatbiggroup/

Just about every subject is allowed (unless you venture into some sort of advertising or spamming or advocating illegal activities), and discussion is encouraged. We have quite a few smart folks on that list, a few dummies (like me, but then I'm the owner!), and a lot of humor.
