Cut out the politics discussion. That is not something we allow. 

 The only thing that the rules ban is hateful language about political beliefs, and I don't believe we've used any of that here.  If there is meant to be a blanket ban on political discussions, you should probably add that to the rules. 

 To be fair, the one of the first posts to bring it up was firing off the r-word, which is hate speech against people with autism.  That's the kind of stuff I'd normally report.  Political discussion has its place in the context of discussing card games for various reasons (eg. economical discourse about the accessibility of card games is inherently political because politics has an effect on who can afford what) but I get the mods wanting to keep the site clear of political discussion.  Political discussion online brings people around I'd rather not share spaces with, and that the mods would have to busily remove.

Ultimately a lot of the weird rhetoric around aggro being "instant gratification" and "slower decks being better because they have delayed gratification" is a load of bunk, and comes from a place of believed superiority.  A few control players out there seem to think very highly of themselves for the way they prefer to play the game, which is toxic and leads to non-conversations with somebody who will never change their mind about anything.  That sort of thing has bothered me for a long time, and it'll never go away.  The best anybody can do is prove them wrong and move on even if they keep waxing philosophically in circles, only letting themselves come to the conclusion they've settled on already.
