Yes. But disallow name calling/cussing people out, specificaly. Since anyone can claim to be "insulted" by anything.
That is correct, Joods. I have specified that it would be for serious type discussion topics:

I believe a stricter set of rules for that single section would greatly improve the quality of the discussion.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
