And on a personal note, a lot of LJ, including a lot of fandom places, is a hugely political place. I also live in a highly political area. One of the things I like about T9 is that it hasn't been like that, and that I can feel comfortable wandering in and knowing that I won't have to defend my political views or quietly sit in and hold my tongue when someone says something I disagree with that. I know T9chat does not exist to be my nonpolitical haven, but it's an aspect I like about it and I would be sad to see it go.
