Expressing my strong liberal views without shame. Favorite quotes below:
"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe."
"One starts to live when he can live outside himself."
- Albert Einstein
Because evidently it stirs up more flame wars than anything else in the entire Universe.
I agree with prohibiting religious discussion, because there is literally nothing to discuss without the discussion transmuting into a flamewar, but political discussions have various perspectives, and have impact on everyone's lives.
The PC vs consoles, CoD vs BF threads also generate plenty of flaming. They're not banned.
There needs to be a simple ground rule that you cannot flame. If you do, then you are banned. Not everyone resorts to flaming.
In my opinion, it seems the rule is in place because the ninjas don't want to deal with enforcing the flaming rule in those threads (also known as laziness).
