The Game of Politics: Introduction
Preamble: Lightworkers.org is not a political organisation. However, it accepts the rights of political thought and expression. Political criticism and dissection is seen as both constructive and important for Human existence. Because modern Mans historical political road of his ancestors' is “old news” an introduction of a systematic depot for politics in all aspect of society is clearly no new idea.

We “moderators” at Lightworkers.org would like to take this unique opportunity to address, “you”, its dedicated membership; each and every individual with the greatest and highest love. We would like to inform you of our decision regarding the entry creation of a political category for those especially interested participants to the edification and discussion of the subject of ‘politics’ (as related to conscious development on Planet Earth) and related topics, herein titled, “The Game of Politics”. Irrespective of what the recent poll indicated surveying about the political arm, understand internally and externally, it was a first-informal survey to gauge public opinion (“yes, no” format) with regard to recent and current political activities, development and associated ideologies.
On a local level, as it is NOT our first-intention as moderators to ban members for engaging the subject earnestly we have established for sincere use, for protection, an actual outlet for people wishing to engage in such. As condition and out of respect for others however, we wish to only make the provided outlet sustainable on the grounds that members respect the one important rule: which is - keep thread category-specific deposits on subject, and on topic. That is, keep political stuff in the political thread. Likewise for unrelated categories.
Obviously if there is a consistent breach of this understanding by the occasional abusive member; if the abusive member puts content in the wrong places, we are obligated and certainly within reasonable rights to enforce penalties in which case account termination is likely. When one person intentionally engages in the act of improper allocation of posts - making an art of it - one loses very much "persuasion power". Such that this shows not only a sign of lacking maturity and harboring a tremendous degree of immaturity, but further that, ones intelligence level is publicly confirmed and looked at by observers as sadly, “a mind only a mother could love”! (Requiring great nurturing) Therefore with a sting to ones credibility and personal maturity thus established, one has ostensibly a drop in allies and no longer convinces anyone of anything no matter how hard one tries.
Secondly, it is respectful not to post condescending discriminatory remarks in categories you have no authentic interest in participating in, and only want to make passing negative statements about why a category/subject/topic isn’t relevant, justifiable or deserving of existence.
And thirdly, keep your ego in check. Preferably separate emotion completely from all discussion. Don’t get upset when someone shows your logic up with clear-cut demonstration and react by getting personal. When you find yourself suddenly reaching for your Kinder Sword or ticking for that one-inch punch, instead, you should stop and think immediately happy thoughts! (For the movie buffs, think, "Happy Gilmore".)
With these few hints, we hope you enjoy the development!
Thank you for your comprehension!
