We do real politics at open politics itself. Thus:
- our administrator guidelines are troll-friendly
- our senior editor guidelines emphasize equal power relationships and do not assume any authority
- instead, senior editors help other regular editors to elaborate the evidence/source/authority for their claims, controversial and otherwise
- we prefer democratic structuring to command hierarchy
- the political virtues are advisable, even to trolls

- explicit bias, tendency, faction and party declarations are welcome, indeed encouraged
- self-assessment is also welcome and encouraged, especially re: the Four Pillars or political virtues

- debate by edit is encouraged over debate by comment

- we discourage technological escalation, e.g. resolving disputes by force
- we welcome politics as usual, e.g. negative campaign ads, up to but not over the limits of libel in the Province of Quebec - see terms of use
