[QUOTE="Henry, post: 2500930, member: 158"] The ENWorldian Catechism: [I]In the beginning Eric created the Grandma, and she was good. She acted as a natural respector of peers, and the people did know how to obey her. And the rules were without form, and void, and people understood the implied rules of civility. And yea, as the board did grow, so did the implied respect become lost in the telling. And so to combat the most spurious of arguments that caused flames, did Eric craft the Adamantine Rule: No Politics or Religion, lest ye be cast into the void that is rec.games.frp.dnd. ;) And the Grandma filled in the rest. And the Morrus did come, and take over for the Eric, and he took upon himself the Adamantine Rule and the Grandma, and it was good. GREYHAWK.*[/I] ---------------------------------------- Religious and Political discussion have always caused some of the worst arguments, and more importantly it destroys the primary focus of these forums: The games we play. Without it, or (at worst) keeping religious or political references solely in a gaming context, it's not only fostered friendships, it's helped a bunch of people who would normally never even game together to become friends and acquaintences! Some threads may skirt the line, but that's why mods have the discretion that they do, to single out the threads that cause problems, versus those that offers something productive. *That's my version of "Amen." ;) [/QUOTE]
