At a certain point, it may become prudent to "read the room." Perhaps you'd find more satisfaction sharing your views among those 60% likeminded folks than here among those of us who think otherwise.

Fine. Enjoy your echo chamber.

Great.  That is called tyranny of the majority 2006alum.  If someone doesn't agree with "the majority" they should not post here?  You have asked a member to leave this board because they don't agree with you.  BTW, how do you arrive at your 60% figure? Counting the loudest voices?  You are a mod on this board.  Shameful.  This is a time when we should all be pulling together, helping, and comforting each other.  

I would say to all Cardboard members that there are plenty of forums for you to lay waste to the Trump administration, or the Chinese, or Russia, or republicans, or democrats, etc.  But the Cardboard should not be the forum for such rhetoric.  The admin and mods have chosen to suspend enforcement against political posts on the Covid-19 forum because of the difficulty to discern politics with this crisis and because people are understandable anxious about the pandemic.  But when a mod becomes one of the loudest voices in political posts and seeks to drive from the Cardboard a member who clearly comes from the opposite side of the political fence, this has gone too far.  There is valuable potentially lifesaving information being shared on this board, but the aggressive politically provocative posts being made by a handful of members will likely get this forum shut down.

You mean like the person that 2006alum was responding to? We gotta stop acting like criticism of Trump's action is assumed to be a liberal baselessly attacking Trump for being a conservative. And we gotta stop acting like someone who calls out blatant partisan apologism is the one who is making aggressive politically provocative posts. 

If this is a time when we should all be pulling together, helping, and comforting each other, then shouldn't the burden be on those who are trying to minimize the harm that has been done, or who are throwing out red herrings to distract from the issues at hand?
