Bill, that's fine with me. I don't think Abel intended for this forum to be a "pj news" forum, but rather a forum to discuss the merits of the photographs themselves, not the issues. If you look back through the photojournalism forum you can see that it started as a picture critique and has slowly crept it's way toward something different.
Moderating a forum where you are always trying to find the right balance can be difficult, but I would have to say that I think Abel and company have done a pretty darn good job. Flowers and birds have no real politics but keeping things civil in "Open Talk" or "Photojournalism" would be even more difficult if they didn't stand by their policy.
There are plenty of places to go on the net for flame war politics, I'm just glad this isn't one of them.
