Rule Changes + New Restrictions

[John V]

And when the intellectual exercise can provide outcomes that conveniently affect personal, tangible benefit to yourself/your position?

When that's the case we can discuss it. As I've said before, allowing atheist flaming is good for my positions, as IMO it detracts from the credibility of atheists. From a personal standpoint, when someone gets annoying I simply put them on Ignore for awhile. I stand nothing to gain, and actually stand to lose, from my own rule suggestion.
