Just my opinion - I think openSUSE should stay far away from politics of any kind. It doesn't matter whether it might affect the project or not. If we had seen a discussion of SOPA on opensuse-general or -factory, it would have been fairly quickly relegated to opensuse-offtopic. It's a very fine line, but I support the decision 100%.
This is not some grumpy obscure country/government saying we don't want your website in our country (eg what China does with the Great Firewall), this is a grumpy not-so-obscure country/government potentially saying we don't want your website available to anyone regardless of where you are.
Sometimes we as a community need to stand up and say hang on a sec there... and this is one of those times.
C I agree.

I think it would be a waste of everybodys time trying to decide when it is "one of those times". I sincerely hope openSUSE will not continue down this slippery slope.
Isn't it the openSUSE:Board that decides? I wonder why you think it's a slippery slope?
