Policy Changes: How do you feel?
Shecky:
When in doubt, it's always safer to err on the side of caution: "If it were me, I'd ___" as opposed to "Anyone who doesn't _____ is a menace to society", y'know.
Priscellie:
Curly, "I think X did it, and here's why" falls safely into the category of Dresdenverse discussion. You're discussing in-universe characters with in-universe politics and in-universe motives. That's exactly the kind of discussion we want to generate! "I think X did it, because Obama is a Muslim" is not.
Paynesgrey:
"Ethics" is how some people spell "morals" and "politics". It's not hard to find a fictional discussion to turn into a soapbox from which to snipe on Real World politics, morals, etc. "I think X had a right to know about Y, and Z was wrong for withhlding that info" is one matter, but that's quite different from "discussing the Dresdenverse" by saying "Killing a sentient being is never right" "Harry is wrong to eat meat or drink coke". Those are examples of stuff that will generally hop right over to real world Touchy Topics Arguementation. Likewise for even arguements like the ever popular "there is/is not any such thing as Free Will." You think religious zeolots are fun, you should see Philosophy Zealots tear into each other. They're more vicious than PHD's when one of their Respected Collegues has left the room. So we do have to be careful that such things stay focussed on the Dresdenverse.
Obama, holding a puppy, in front of the Lincoln Memorial, therefore, the Laws of Magic and the Accords are not relavant to the events of the short story Harry Eats A Sammich.

Lash Dresden:
I don't miss the arguments discussions from touchy topics (even though I did enjoy participating in some of them). I do miss some of the people who were generally only here to participate in those discussions, and who have been mostly MIA since TT went away. Having said that, I think the actions taken were unfortunately necessary.
