"I have a bad feeling about this."

I just can't seem to understand why this is suddenly a problem.

Finally, someone said it... Thank you Mika.

You don't see that Sight Unseen? Really?

You can't see how the stubborn and unfounded actions of a few people here outlawing free discussion for a good number of others isn't an issue here?

On a forum?

About AVATAR...
(some people need reminding this forum isn't only for anti-spirituaist scientist metalheads who want everything their way.)

You thought that discussions about spirituality caused arguments... You should see what happens when you ban them.

I wonder what Spiritualist Groups, or even CNN would have to say?

Hmm, where does it say free discussion is outlawed?

Nothing is censored, past simple trolling.

Feel free to make threads about it if you like - however, religion (or 'spirituality') is the source of more arguments than anything else. It doesn't have to be, but they often go that way.

However, what nobody (from either side) is getting is a 'dissent-free zone'. If you want to share an opinion, you accept that not everyone will accept it.

In an example I have used before, if, for example, there was no music subforum, and someone requested one, but made their request as only one for metal, then that wouldn't be fair on people who like others, as well as being seen as an endorsement of metal by the forum, and I could completely understand why others would want there to be a forum for all types of music. This is no different than that.

On the other hand, nobody is going to have a special subforum where there is no dissent from a particular person's views, because that would be censorship, if only specific people are allowed to use an exclusive subforum based on things they believe.

Acceptance is something I ain't seen in a long time here.

It was a perfectly civil discussion of a relevant topic. You're making it seem much more dramatic than it is. Besides, they even took "it" to PMs (if at all).

Mika - while I agree with your point to 100%, there are some severe misunderstandings regarding your first post. There has never been any talk about censoring spiritual discussions - or any form of censorship by the staff.

However - as the discussion has moved onto - there has been talk of a new subforum. For practical reasons though, I am closing down this thread and creating a new one for this issue - I hope you understand my reasons Mika, I wouldn't want any users coming here and misunderstand the situation as a whole.

If you are unhappy with me locking the thread, just send a PM and we'll work it out - in the meantime, though, I'd be happy if the discussion continued here:
