Technically, there is "politics" in some of the content here in this thread, and it's very hard to have this topic open and not have that be the case.

One reason we stopped even discussing the name change in any forum on OG ES was that fact, added to the reality that everyone was just repeating the same stuff ad infinitum and there was really nowhere for the topic to "go." It would just be an endlessly revolving crap fest.

But speaking just for myself, I was going to be more flexible on this here on ExComm and see how it went.

However, I just deleted a post where the author went overboard in indulging himself in expressing his sociopolitical views on the name change and saying "I'll probably be banned for this" at least twice before he made each additional political aspect he "needed to share."

Whenever someone says "I'll probably be banned for this..." and then goes ahead anyway I'm usually tempted to honor his effort at self-immolation for several reasons, but I didn't in this case. Nor will I name him as he's not had any other missteps here.

But for however long this thread is open, I strongly encourage everyone to kindly use real effort to avoid all the political angles or at the least keep it to the absolute minimum.

So facts about the old name are “political”? Yet you can post a video with incorrect statements and that’s ok. Got it.

The “W” is dull. They don’t have to use Native American imagery but we a better Commander logo.
