It has become a problem on the bishop side. Ive seen first hand someone make a comment about politics and soon it starts a huge debate about politics and it moves from there to something else like religion or race. I for one just squelch people that talk about it. This is a game leave the political crap out of it. It's good people care about it but just leave it out of the game there's no need for it.
