As a two finger typist with a serious problems with my back and concentration, I thank you (in the abstract) Dinah for your extensive clarification.
Nice to see you around.
I grew up in a family where everyone spoke about politics routinely and have done so out of habit ever since, and I'm always surprised when people don't.
I have never found the civility rules an absolute impediment to expression here (although I make an exception for Harold Pinter's opinions about US foreign policy).
Rather, they encourage reflection and ingenuity, and all things considered, are a good thing.
