There are far better and far more appropriate places than the forums of a game developers fan community to discuss political, religious and other mature and potentially inflammatory topics.
It's a very big 'Net, and if someone wants a stimulating and mature discussion on such matters, they really wouldn't have to look far.
Such matters are so far outside of the purpose of this site, and have historically been shown to draw idiots like famine victims to a UN food-drop (you see, some people consider that offensive, or an opening to say something stupid, but it is an accurate description.... so would have "sharks to blood in the water") .
The sad fact is that people on these forums tend to lose all sense of civility and common decency the moment someone else questions or counters their personal beliefs or world-view. And they are willing to turn these forums into a text-based slayer match at any time.
So I can almost be certain when I say that controversial topics of conversation (such as religion or politics) will not be allowed on any of the Bungie.Net public forums.
Yeah I guess thats a very valid point.
