I worry the same question. I am unahamedly political, but I also love having a space (and friends) where politics doesn't exclude. I have friends from across the political spectrum and I know them through a range of places and I really like having places we can meet. I may only let politics intrude occasinally in LJ and my other blog because that place to meet is so important to me, but I rather suspect politics are going to creep into the speech I'm supposed to be doing at Conflux.
