    There was no politics in the request to refrain from politics.
    #VoteBlue is a hashtag, nothing more, nothing less.

    Moving from politics to being a sysop...

    So, just to be clear... as a sysop you have absolutely no control over what appears in your origin line?

    Interesting.

    Is that so?

    I have absolute control over what appears in my origin line. Why do you ask?

    In any case #VoteBlue is just a hashtag. It is not an attack on you (or anyone) so don't feel victimized.

    Interesting.

    Completely uninteresting.

    What if there are people out there who don't vote? It might insult, and possibly trigger, them for telling them how to live their lives!

    Would you feel the same way if somebody used "John 3:16" in their origin line. It doesn't sound very different to me.
