Would have to be allowable in any part of the forums as far as I'm concerned... as well as a possible response to it: "I think that is a bigoted position that is born from ignorance." Both of these must be allowed anywhere on the forum. "Fuck you, you homophobic dickwad," would be an example of something disallowed in the civility section, as well as any slurs or inflammatory remarks from the theists about homosexuals.I don't disagree with the opinion you're expressing here. But you do illustrate my point which is that if we're going to do this, someone has to decide where the line is. And its almost a guarantee the opinion of that someone will not be shared by everyone. So the goal is to create a discussion section which is friendly and encourages civil discourse. But we could also end up with a section where certain opinions are allowed and others simply are not because that's where someone decided to draw the line of what's offensive and what isn't.
