Very funny!

It is not overly political because it does not take a stand pro or Con, No slant or angle, just fun.

Doesn't take a stand? So... equating protesting the war with being Sauruman, who (as we all know) is allied with the evil enemy isn't taking a stand?

And yes, I would enjoy you writing a similarly witty News From Gondor with a different perspective. Go for it. Perhaps you could write one from the perspective of an Easterling or Orc protestor against Sauron's war on the west?
But, see, I don't want to disguise political commentary as fantasy humor. I discuss politics on other boards.

Do what you want, obviously. The post itself doesn't bother me as much as the seeming hypocrisy: no direct discussion of politics, but politics hidden as a fantasy joke are ok.
 

Ok, I am closing this thread. . .

Because it is only a matter of time before it does become a political flamefest. . . .

However, I do believe the original post was meant to be in good fun and not meant as political commentary.

Check out Nemm's simple guidelines for dealing with this kind of thing:

1) If you believe that a thread contains offensive content, please alert the mods.

2) Don't post to the thread - essentially exacerbating things.

3) Stay out of the thread an wait for the mods to get back to you.

4) If you don't like the mods ruling: Stay out of the thread.


Nice and simple.
