I was just thinking how sad it is we cannot have legitimate discussions about Religion or Politics in the standard Off Topics forum, where there is more traffic and thus more opportunity for discussion.

Correct me if I'm wrong - but it's my understanding we cannot do this because basically any tangible discussion of Religion and/or Politics turns quickly into denigrating and name calling rather than a healthy exchange of opinion and genuine debate.

I know our moderators have strengthened enforcement of forum guidelines to include temporary "vacations" and in some extreme cases permanent banning over at P.A.R.F. but the fact remains we still have a divided forum for Off Topics.

It's not really a big deal for me but I just thought I'd post my thoughts on the matter in case others feel the same (or different) way and wanted to chime in.

I also realize we don't make the rules....and I respect that.
