I don't know that this board is the place for some of the items mentioned but I generally don't notice that stuff going on. If I want to see reef stuff I don't go to the lounge to find it and rarely spend time there at all. I prefer to spend my time on other threads that help me advance in the hobby. The whole lounge forum could disappear and I likely wouldn't notice it gone for months. So I guess what I'm saying is that what happens there doesn't seem to affect me

Hawk, I never took it as being critical of Canreef, just as my post was more in general of most boards I am on.
Please also remember, I,m stating what the rules and opinions are on most aquarium boards. Yes Anderson, I like being informed. Thats why I read those theads, on boards where they are allowed. Let me be clear again. Despite calls for free speach or whatever, I have yet to see an aquarium board, where allowing those topics to turn into heated exchanges, {which they most always do}, contributes anything to the board itself. In fact its the exact opposite. I would assume thats the reason most boards dont allow it. If there was no problems would they not let it go?

I don't know the answer. On the one hand people should be able to say what they want within the bounds of decency and good taste. On the other hand the aquarium board is supposed to be about aquarium topics.
I might find someone on these boards who is a talented aquarist and has lots of information to offer. However if he finds out that I am anti-drug, anti pit-bull and Rottweiller (to give an example), pro-family, pro-tolerating gays, anti tolerating Islamist terrorists, pro-racial profiling of Islamist terrorists, pro-grizzly hunting, anti-union, and anti-big government, then we might have a problem dealing with each other. So in the interests of getting along I will keep as quiet as I can about my political and social views on this forum. The few times I have opened my mouth about these things I have offended someone I am sure.

I've said this before but one problem with the written word is it's often hard to tell what tone is really meant when reading it,(even with the emotion icons) so some folks may get offended.

Which illustrates a point...like Snappy said. The written word is subject to interpretation (authorial intent vs. reader response). What you mean, what you say and what I interpret are all very different things.

OK tolerating isn't the right word, I guess accepting them or treating them equally is what I meant.
