By campaigning I was refering to the tactic of expanding the issue beyond the question in an effort to get more support.
As an example: Characterizing this as an effort to "ban" all off-topic discussion.
This kind of scaremongering is poor form.
I wasn't scaremongoring, I was rebutting BM's faulty logic (it's homebrewtalk.com, therefore we can only talk about beer). I know you're not trying to ban all OT discussion; my point was that people who use the argument "hey, this is a beer forum, we shouldn't be discussion politics" aren't being logically consistent - in other words, if your argument against political discussions is that this is just a forum for discussing homebrewing, then you must also support banning ALL non-homebrew-related topics too...either that, or pick a new rationale for your position.
I was arguing in favor of logical consistency, not scaremongering.
