But the freedom to talk about anything with anyone is something that I still enjoy and treasure even now after 20 years of liberty.
And that's great. There are tons of places, online and irl, for that.

Maybe also with the exception if a certain piece of hardware is the topic ("What SSD should I buy") where people write a link to a producer or store for recommendation.
Same for commercial Linux companies (example: Mandriva.com).

PS: In the spirit of the freedom of speech mentioned earlier let me say that I'm so satisfied that the demented terrorist and killer is dead at last.
After all, this is not about religion or politics, but is about a sick evil person.

Oh, I get it...in other words: get the frak outta here.
Gee, thanks.
get the frak outta here if you want to talk about topics which have their place and time elsewhere
The Wizards Lair
Here wizards, magicians, sorcerers and everybody can rest a bit and talk about anything they like.
You would not start discussing command line parameters in a forum dedicated to politics, would you?

Maybe then the definition of Wizard Layer should be changed somehow?
Ok, so let's see what maat proposed:Still, I don't agree on strictly forbiding such topics, but rather monitor them, something along the line maat proposed.
How different is this to "are forbidden"? What maat wrote is exactly what I requested/proposed.maat wrote:In all cases discussions or linking to sites about the following topics should be very discouraged, and should be potentially terminated/removed without warning or subject to sanctions in case of recurrence:
religion
politics
You have been in Mandriva forums long enough to know what I'm talking about. It would be unavoidable. This Bin Laden topic - if I would post my opinion on that I am very sure that those people who rejoiced and danced in the streets in front of the White House would want to kill me. So, I don't do that to keep the peace. Is this really "Freedom of speach"? No, it isn't for me, only for them. But if you want to achieve equal rights for everybody and at the same time avoid such potentially explosive discussions you have to shut out the whole topic. More so as it is not the main purpose of the forum.But you/we don't know that.
So, what would you prefer? Give the users some trust in advance...or give them the restriction without trust?
In all cases discussions or linking to sites about the following topics should be very discouraged, and should be potentially terminated/removed without warning or subject to sanctions in case of recurrence:
religion
politics

No word about strictly forbidden. At least that was my understanding.
Discouraging is something reasonably.
As in: "I'm watching this topic and I'm so close to remove it if you guys cross the line"
It says that such discussions are discouraged and will be terminated/removed without warning. Period.
Nothing about monitoring and lines to (not) be crossed.
