@HeadPirate I would not echo Screen's request. So long as it doesn't violate terms of service, people are free to talk about whatever they wish. That having been said...
Certainly in the real world our resources are finite. But not all questions about the use of finite resources are political questions. For example, your use of the 20 tea bags in your house is not a political issue. Why? Because there is not debate in the world about what sort of public policy (i.e., the bringing to bear of governments and their powers of influence and coercion) should be employed regarding your use of the 20 tea bags.
But there is about things like waste, energy usage, natural resources, etc.
It's that public policy aspect, not the finite amount aspect, that makes those issues political (or at least, have a political component to them.)
So surely you can see that to object to discussions about public policy is not the same as objecting to any discussion about the use of resources, particularly resources one owns.
