Bob, because I am not insensitive to your concerns, I have explicitly signed up our Ruqqus guild for this
https://ruqqus.com/+ApoliticalGuildsUnio...ilds-union
It's a ring of guilds that are identified as zones free of political slants, where we just want to talk about our specific interest and do not want to entertain political soapboxing, this should serve to identify ourselves as free of partisanship.
After checking out the various communities there, they DO have all political spheres represented to some extent. Everyone from the unironic Communists to the unironic Naizs and everything in between, but the way the place is set up, we can effectively exist independent of them entirely, and I've decided to head off any noxious political garbage by making clear, up front, we do not want to discuss that (except for very narrow things like copyright and other things of interest to troping) nor be involved in slapfights between political extremists of any shade.
