and there were no problems, so we should allow them again.This is more an example of cause and effect than "political threads were removed for no reason".
There are some sensible users on this site who are capable of holding decent discussion, but they are heavily outnumbered by users who are immature and quickly resort to flaming. Political discussions draw in flaming more than most other topics, and if allowed would need to be constantly monitored for flaming. Rather than constantly monitoring them it's easier to merely ban them in general. There are plenty of other sites on the internet where political discussions are allowed and Bungie.net doesn't need to be one of them.

I've seen more flaming go on in CoD vs Battlefield threads than I have in political threads.
