From East of Ukraine...

[Emanuel]

From the private report of a collaborator of mine, here are the words in russian from an ethnic russian perspective (you can translate through google translate if you mind and don't know the language):

"Я в Донецке,а сегодня тут был тяжелый день и народ хочет войти в Россию!Я против!Лож во всех СМИ...они разрывают страну,Путин хочет забрать Крым,и придумывает причины что бы ввести войска,в Украину уже вечером вошли войска России,и пехотинцы....Это война!!!"

Guys -- and this is not to single out Emanuel, who doesn't normally do this kind of thing -- politics and religion are both verboten topics here at DVXuser.

1. No Politics
We've tried it and it doesn't work. There are many other sites where you can discuss politics, just not this one.
'Politics' includes not only directly political content, but any controversial topics, current affairs, or other news-related issues. If you see something non-film-making related reported in the media, and you know there are strong feelings about it on either side of the issue, please do not bring it up here. The 'no politics' rule also extends to discussing the political content of films and television shows, or to videos with political content, even if posted for a video-related purpose. The Mod staff may grant very limited, specific exceptions in cases of exceptional film-related interest, but only with prior approval, and any such thread will be heavily moderated. Moderators will make the final decision as to whether or not a specific post belongs on this site.

There's been an uptick recently of people making political/religious posts, especially among people who have been around for a long time and know better, and we'd like it to stop, please.
