So, this thread does not turn into a forum policy debate, I'd like to say a few things.
1) First and foremost, there are seperate rules for this section. Pretty much everyone here is not new to the forum. If you havent read the rules for this section, read 'em. If you have, read 'em again.
2) Heat is allowed in this area. However, when it gets to the point where people can't post without resorting to calling each other names, well, maybe some should think before they post.
3) This area generates alot of reported posts. Again, there are seperate rules for this area, and they are enforced.
4) Freedom of speech....well, it just doesnt exist here. The rules are in place...like it or not. Nobody forces anyone to post here, but if you do, expect that the threads will be watched.
5) ALOT of it comes down to how your views are expressed. Again, it goes back to how you word your posts. You can disagree with something, you can agree with something. But if you disagree, I know for a fact that there is a way to do it, despite how sensitive the topic is/isn't, without being a jerk with the wording.
6) If someone has a question on the way something was taken care of, a suggestion on something, ask. This is Bobs forum, so PM him. PM any of the Admins. PM a mod. Its interesting to see what was said in the opening post regarding the way things are taken care of here. This forum, IMHO, is a great place. It isn't like that other forum that shall not be named, where its a NHB forum, where the bashing is welcomed. If a place like that suits you better, thats fine. Again, we welcome debate, but if debating can't be somewhat civil, and in line with the looser rules in this area, then I don't know what to tell you.
