I presume that discussions about controversial topics is also discouraged? Stuff like energy policy, adoration, religion, the Middle East, George Bush, Iraq, creationism, global warming, George Bush, etc. I know from experience that those kind of treads get nasty very, very quickly as people give very big emotional detachments to these topics.

Be accepting of each other
Treat others with respect

Hardly ever happens in these kinds of discussions. Sadly, that is. ;)

There's nothing wrong with a little healthy debating! Just make sure everyone counts to ten before posting. And besides, I doubt that Bush wil come over here and have his feelings hurt by the Aquaria forum, so it's okay ;)

Personally, I would discourage these topics. Like I said, people attach very big emotional baggage with these stuff.

I think it's possible to discuss politics and other divisive social issues without it degenerating.  Feel free to start such topics if you wish - just keep in mind that they will be closely moderated.

Yeah, there's a law (as in Moore's Law) that if an argument progresses for a certain amount of time, the subject will turn to accusations of Nazism and racism. I havent seen that happen yet  ;)

[EDIT]: This post is OLD, but sorry!

Well, you can't miss Godwin's Law if you spend some time on the internet...

I guess you've been already noticed about reviving old threads? ;)
