We're seeing an uptick in people randomly throwing out political bullshit in threads in the Lounge. Don't. Report people who do. They'll get booted from the thread for a first offense and more than that if they continue.
The end.

Due to continued reported posts and general frustrations around inserting politics into absolutely everything, and idea came up to restrict people to DC, much like the Romper Room.
So, everyone gets three thread bans as warnings, and after that will get a vacation in DC (the other forums will be view only). The thread bans and DC vacations will be posted in the transparency thread.
Just like several other rules, there's of course gray area and it doesn't really matter where the line is drawn, because those who can keep politics out of the Lounge will never come close to the line and those who can't will insist on running right up to it.
Generally speaking, we're talking about political opinions or blatantly inserting politics into a thread that isn't even a little bit on topic, or otherwise leaking DC BS into the Lounge or other forums.

This would have been a few years ago. Rerun used to do a thread called Friday night flights. It was a great thread with pictures from the cockpit of what I assumed was a corporate jet that he piloted.
He posted in DC about he was flying tomorrow which happened to be Elisabeth Warren. I dont remember the threat of crashing the plane though. It would have been tongue and chick IMO and I bet a squealer informed. Id been guess at Scuzzer or Dave Lame.

Oh get off it. I'm a secular atheist who's pro choice and has never registered republican in my life.
If you think that's 'right wing' you dont have the slightest idea what you're talking about. The violence isnt one sided. Believing THAT requires an echo chamber cupcake.

This is exactly what I was describing earlier. You guys just seem to think you can say and do anything, even a suggestion of murder, with zero consequences.
And you wonder why no one wants you guys in the Lounge and that includes nutbags like Overhead, too.

And here's the problem. Your post started of well, only to end on a sour note (in the bolded part).
Seriously, you could have just left the bolded part out, because some things are just better kept to yourself or not said, and you're just exposing yourself.
