kai2: As I see it, greasy was making valid points for an apolitical thread and in fact hedwards was pushing that everything is political... thus promoting the descent into politics that many threads take.
I do not know greasy and I do not know hedwards. I do not know their histories or their general behavior, but I do know one seemed to be promoting a certain ticket to locking this thread... and the other wasn't.
Am I reading this scenario incorrectly? If so, I'm all ears.
Greasy tends to come into some threads(mostly mine it seems) he finds political with complaints about the politics in them. He seems(from what I have read that he told me) to think some here post things that are against the rules(namely the vague no politics rule specifically) and this bothers him so he replies as such(He has also basically told me he has no qualms with possibly derailing threads he finds break the rules here). I do not know greasy and I do not know hedwards. I do not know their histories or their general behavior, but I do know one seemed to be promoting a certain ticket to locking this thread... and the other wasn't.

Heck, I made one thread on news and he derailed it for a few pages claiming it was political and when I asked him to take it to PM to not derail thread or to move to another thread he said he didn't want to and kept at it until I threatened to report him.
Hedwards, on the other hand, seems to be calling out the nonsense in greasy's seeming "this/that is politics and against gog rules" shtick by showing how everything or near to it could be seen as political and thus banned here if one thought long and hard enough.
He also seems to be usually less prone to getting upset at various things than greasy does, from what i've seen.
