I bought that book and read it to the minions when they where of a small nature.

Ah, but...did you read it with all the noises, every night at 6:00 PM SHARP?

Don't mind those people who say you're not HOT. At least you know you're COOL.

I don't see anything controversial... is it because it's about politics?

You wish to ban mere mention of the word? The article if you read it is a very good summary of why guideline #4 should apply.

First strart this you tube to get the correct ambient music[^, here is a scenario that often plays out:
OP: Looksie - a post about politics [Clickety]
WB*: Oho - that bit about climate change - climate change is/is not proven** and anyone who says otherwise is an idiot.
US***: But, but evidence
WB: You AGW denier/ pro-AGW** shill
--> Flamewar.
* One of our resident chaps who like to watch the World Burn
** Delete as appropriate to leave the one most likely to poke the hornets' nest.
*** Unwitting stooge

We know all about that scenario. The post in question is about why that type of interaction may occur. Is discussing that also out of bounds because it mentions "politics" the noun? That would be the thought police stepping in I would suggest.

No, but by simply posting the link with no discussion it is at least border-line.

I agree, and the OP could have discussed such and how it applies to business and software teams, etc. etc. etc. But he didn't.

There is a lot in this. It needs a couple of reads.
