I don't see any problem with historical politics as long as it's not current, but I really don't know about making it loose. There would also be no arguments about the rules if they were always followed perfectly. I really do think this may just be a rule we'll have to enforce. You know that it commonly leads to flame wars when there's certain people on, so we may have to just enforce it. We do allow it in PM so that users a can peacefully discuss it with out other users being involved.
