This is my first post here, and I thought I would provide feedback on why this forum attracted me.
The main reason is lack of topical censorship. "Discuss Anything" means exactly what it says. I believe no topic, regardless of how repugnant some people might view it, should ever be placed beyond the realm of discussion.
To prevent this from becoming anarchic, you've instituted reasonable and flexible rules of engagement. The "six-strike" rule gives people wiggle room. I suppose I'll find out through posting how flexible your definitions of such concepts as "anti-Semitism" and flaming are, but I certainly don't expect perfection. I look forward to engaging some of the powerful intellects who frequent this forum.:)
