Politics and real world issues can be very hairy subjects. Emotions tend to run high, as does conflict. Up until a few years ago, Subeta had a debate forum where users were allowed to discuss these subjects. The problem is that the discussions tended not to stay civil and would spiral out of control. As a result, that forum was eventually removed and debates were banned from the forums. Subeta strives to be a safe space for everyone, and it was decided that this site was simply not the place for such debates. It's not that Subeta is trying to stifle opinions. Quite the opposite! We're just trying to make this a nice place for everyone, and sometimes people say hurtful things while trying to say their piece. That is not okay, whether it is deliberate or not.

With that said, I am going to have to lock this. You are welcome to take your debates to other sites, but it is not appropriate for Subeta forums.
