From your link (Mapleoin); Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting NEW phenomenon. The green energy topic is 100% political and it is not a NEW phenomenon. It is a push point for the Democratic Party in the United States and the opposing party is actively campaigning against it every day for months on end. It is one of the main contention points between the parties. It seems as off topic to me as if someone were continually posting articles about how Sarah Palins choice of handbag and dresses affect her media coverage and saying it is posted because it might satisfy someone’s intellectual curiosity. A single post by a poster on a non IT topic in the forum might be viewed as possibly satisfying one’s intellectual curiosity, but if you look at the posters history you will see a distinct pattern focusing on this one political hot button issue. So since it is political and is not a NEW phenomenon it seems it falls under an Off-Topic Political post. If it were an article regarding the code to do whatever for the wind power station, or IT hiring patterns in the green industry that would seem on topic.
