Seeing as this is a discussion based on the possibility of future rules and regulations, and not of rules that are already in place, I cannot see how this could be misconstrued as insulting or criticizing the forum or it's admin.
Far be it for me to question a moderator (such as yourself), and I will not do so, however a discussion like this seems to be a very important topic with quite a few members. Hopefully it won't be censored just because it's tone is bordering on disagreeing with the powers that be.
Hopefully this forum's management can recognize the importance of this topic and allow it's continued discussion with the participation of mature and respectful members, as it has mostly been from the beginning of this thread.
On a personal note, I sincerely feel us as members and contributors of such a successful discussion forum (which owes it's success in part to the members themselves) should be allowed to openly discuss things that can have such a tremendous impact on the future of the forum. Again, I just want to stress I am not being critical of it's admin, manager or mods.
