I think you guys are being very harsh on a great forum. There are lines, whether
you perceive them or not, and people do indeed get banned. You can talk about
anything you wish pretty much, and that is exactly what happens. Naturally, if
you start to bring up topics such as politics or religion, expect temperatures
to rise. But issues on technology, health, arts, curiosities, etc. are there in
abundance, and do feel free to contribute. Sticks and stones may break my
bones...
Now, imagine being a moderator there... :-)
