No politics. No libel. There is no telling how the pending court cases will turn out, but it is entirely possible that owners of websites will be held liable for malicious and libelous posts. The reprehensible libels that have been posted here repeatedly by a mentally ill poster, and deleted by moderators, and the additional one posted tonight by a multi-identity, will not be permitted to endanger the Hangout.

There are literally thousands of political chat rooms. Please use those sites for politics. As far as the libelous posts, it's sickening that there are also thousands of sites that permit people to post those. This is not one of them.
