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.

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.

Not a good lead then. Being a leader doesn't only mean a person's superiority. He must know how to take opinions from his subordinates.

And it's not just my opinion. It's also the opinion of all the (3) other developers! 
And the work colleagues next booth we talk to and who did look at the source control code!

Anyway, sometimes one can be right against many. But what is particularly painful is that he makes sure we all must use his meaningless patterns..
At least, when I am innovative (in... any meaning of the word! ), I don't force feed it to other people!!

Sure. If I will be somewhere near Australia today I'll try trying to sabotage your TL with you. 
BTW, I don't have anything against my lead. She's good.

The other one I hear a lot is that 9 mothers can't make a baby in 1 month.

That really depends sir. What kind of 'mothers' are we talking about in here? IIRC, some animal mothers can have and deliver their babies in just one month.
BTW sir, it only takes a day* to make a baby, it's just the mother(human) will only carry it for nine months. 
*depends on how determined the couple are.

Do like my former Bitch Supervisor From HellTM did, she went off to Brazil to get a mail order baby. Too bad for her that when she did, the Brazilian tabloids were full of stories about Americans adopting Brazilian babies to be cut up for organ transplants. Took her 2 1/2 months to get back, accidentally leaving me in charge. We kicked ass and took names because we didn't have to deal with her insecure, control freak ways.
