sure. i'm getting the hang of the notion of 'limited' discussion. seems that people are fairly much free to discuss it... but if the thread escalates... then it will be locked / deleted. fair enough. better than blockings lol. happens to other threads with different topics at any rate. i still think that the discussions would be less likely to escalate if there was a specific place for those threads, but i'll admit that i'm a bright / atheist so that is typically considered 'unsupportive' of religious faith / belief anyhoo...

(though i also think that athiests / agnostics are acutally the repressed minority at this present time in certain parts of the world and athiesm / agnosticism can be supportive insofar as people appreciate that they aren't so very bad for not being able to bring themselves to believe in omnigod and variations on the theme, but anyway...)

> people tend to hold very strong opinions about the topics. It leads to a lot of fighting...

yeah, it can do.

> Not to say I would never create such a forum on a site, just that at this moment, I'm still leaning against it.

sure, i understand.

um... can we talk about political ideology very abstractly? i mean... plato and the like. not the situation in the middle east or anything like that... but very abstract ideology stuff? kind of... issues in ethics and global justice whose relations to specific policies / factors of the situation is fairly much unspecified?

maybe... try and see?
