We've seen lately here how civilly *cough* people can discuss politics, so we moderators decided to ask you..should we make politics and religion taboo topics here? Both are very personal things & discussions get out of hand quickly; many forums and e-mail lists have banned them as topics for that very reason.
For the record, spare us the *freedom of speech* lectures..this is a message board paid for by TEoF/SymX, and as such the rules we choose to put in place (as well as the ones initiated by Mark, who runs UM) are the ones you must follow if you want to participate here. For the record, I consult with Mike Romeo on my moderating style here, and he is fully supportive. However, we have no desire to be hardass dictators, so we're going to let you decide on this one.
Bear in mind, regardless of the results of the poll, we will still demand respect be shown in any and every discussion, or we will moderate the threads as we see fit.
This poll will remain open for one week.
