We try to keep Dresdenverse discussions strongly grounded in the Dresdenverse and leave real-world ethics at arm's reach. It's the difference between "I think (click to show/hide)Susan should have told Harry they have a kid" and "I think (click to show/hide)a mother should tell a father they have a kid."

I understand that. I am saying that not necessaryly touchy topics are all about politics. IMO the stress in that subject ("we don't want politics") is not right. It would be in "we don't want people feeling hurt or offended, so we wish that people was civil and well-mannered."
Paynesgrey:
We tried that. When political, social, economic, environmental issues, morality, religion and the like came up, civil and well-mannered went away. Usually, civil and well mannered went away crying and it would take weeks to coax them out from under the stairs were they sat quietly rocking with their face to the wall.
"Politics" has a tendancy to gather all the other Touchy Topics I've mentioned under it's skirts, so we tend to use the term in generic fashion.
El Diablo:
I think what it should boil down to in basic terms, is that some people with opinions cannot and should not have them challenged on a forum where the fallout will not be tolerated.

Ah, all right. I understand it now.
(Also: I change my profile. This is the debut of my new look)
shades of grey:
The changes have happened (ironic I know). I for one am just glad there was a forum to come back to.
