Dunno about not talking politics. The Israeli in me won't allow for separating between the outside world and everything else. But I will certainly try to be more cordial.
Politics are part of life, and certainly part of open source. Is it cool to blast into Microsoft but not into US, Iraqi or any other government?
We can certainly try and be more civil, but avoiding beliefs and philosophies certainly aren't the free and open source way.
Patrick and I get along fine. We chat quite a bit on the IRC channel. This may be a quick flame war, but I think we're big boys. So we disagree here. I think we'll still happily work together on OACS and any other project we want to do.
That is for sure the free and open source way.
