Thread closed? (forbidden discussion topics)

Shane,

Thanks for responding on behalf of the administators and I must say that I agree with your goals and in the end, as many have said, it's your site and you make the rules. I did not intend to put the Mods down in anyway or to organize some sort of rebellion in the membership, I simply wanted to discuss the application of your stated rules. I didn't mean to step on any toes so if I have done that by starting this thread I appologize. Having said that though I think it's clear that in the General Discussion forum the basic rules of the site apply except the topics aren't restricted. You have acknowledged that you can't keep people's views out completely so I have to wonder why the politics/religion rule is there at all. What is the need for a rule other than one resticting personal attacks?
