This forum operates on the principle of free speech. We believe the best way to address opposing viewpoints is through well-reasoned counter-arguments, not censorship. However, like all free spaces, certain limitations are necessary to maintain a civil environment. Similar to how yelling "fire" in a crowded theater creates a safety hazard, our Terms of Service outline acceptable behavior. While this forum is largely unmoderated, we expect all users to be mature and respectful. Please follow the guidelines set forth by our moderators to ensure a positive experience for everyone.
