  1. That entry is not only agenda-based natter, but it also sidesteps what Linkara actually said. Linkara's criticism was against the argument that "art should be enjoyed without politics". Whether or not works can be "too political" is a completely different subject and does not address what Linkara said.
  2. Aside from them being flat out wrong and engaging in Red Scare apologia, Never Live It Down requires at least twenty years, to be sure that whatever it was actually did not get lived down.
  3. Regardless of their political agenda, Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped is in the process of being dewicked and merged with Anvilicious.

The Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped example could be moved to Broken Aesop, but the rest should just be removed. Also, Never Live It Down only requires a twenty year waiting period if it pertains to real life.

Edit: So Never Live It Down requires a twenty five year waiting period for real life events and a ten month waiting period for sports.

Should the entries be removed yet or are we waiting for something?

So far, most of their edits have been reverted. I don't think any immediate action needs to be taken, but I'll be keeping an eye on them to see if they add any more argumentative notes in the future.
