Discussion, not Provocation

[pocaracas]

There go all the threads made by religious folk!!

As part of the new "Prime Directive" rule, we are moving to remove and/or shut down threads which serve no purpose but to be provocative and troll people. We live in times where people spend too much time shouting at each other and spreading misinformation about each other, rather than sitting down and having a good discussion about their views. At AF, we want to facilitate the latter and not the former.

Cambridge, Oxford, Harvard et al . . . all started by religious folk. (!!) 

My first experience, trying to learn the rules and interaction policies is seeing them violated as a matter of an individual course.

Interesting.... I don't remember those threads.
Care to link to them?
