2) You being confused as to why a discussion that, while civil, still got politicalIf that counts as political, then it had been political for twenty six pages. The vast majority of the thread was actually, as Recon amongst others said, about abstract social science; philosophy and economics mostly.
Actual politics was, at worst, skirted. The point you're referencing, for example, was discussing the morality of delegation of powers. In contrast to the executive/legislature example being discussed I had also brought up the relationship between an individual and their legal representation, which is hardly political.
Now, I am assuming that rule is why the thread was locked, and if someone felt that way then fair enough, but it'd be nice to know after expending all that effort steering the thread away from The Line, exactly why and when it crossed The Line, so that when the topic inevitably crops up again in the future, we don't cross The Line.
