I've been holding this back for months, but I'm just going to come out and say it now.

I appreciate the warnings, since I've accidentally broken forum rules on this site several times, and actually said one thing I truly regret that has been dealt with. I'm just starting to get confused here, and frankly frustrated. There is so much censorship going on, threads just disappearing, etc.

As an example (I'm not outright disagreeing with the rules, I'm just trying to understand it), the fact that we are not allowed to talk about specific numbers in the ED forums, and not allowed to talk about religion in the Spirituality forums... like, "Welcome to the Support For Those With Leaves forum, but don't mention what kind of tree they came from or you might offend someone". I don't see anything constructive coming out of it anymore.

I'm just trying to figure out what the point is on this site lately, and I'm not the only one. Are we really this incapable of dealing with reality and other adults? I guess that's why a lot of us are here. Maybe I'm just disillusioned at this point, but what I see happening is people slamming each other over the head with political correctness and walking on eggshells. Was it always this way and I just didn't realize it? Or am I seriously as dysfunctional at communicating as this site makes me feel? I am sure that's a possibility.

Maybe this qualifies as a rant, and if so I'm sure it will be speedily dealt with by our vigilant mods, but feel free to rebut, or explain (ie. give Community Feedback), until then. Or ignore it.
