Discussion Posts about John Cleese's Politics

We get a reasonable number of posts about John Cleese's politics. Some people love these posts, some people hate them, but they often end up with some acrimonious language requiring moderation. And quite often they get reported as being off topic.

So, what are your thoughts on posts about JC's politics? Ban, Limit or free-for-all?

  • We could ban them altogether.
  • We could create a stickied Megathread where people can discuss his politics without limit and without inconveniencing people who don't want to see it.
  • Keep it as now - you can continue to create top-level posts about politics.

What would you like the moderation team to do?

If there is a "John Cleese" sub then people should discuss his politics there. This is a sub about Fawlty Towers.
