We aren't talking about a new type of content here (ie politics/religion), we are talking about social discourse. Why do we need a new section to allow what I'm trying to get rid of?

Please pardon me if I'm getting the wrong end of the stick here, but.... huh????

Social discourse* is what a community thrives on and what builds friendship and knowledge of others.

And you want to get rid of it????

*: from dictionary.com:

dis·course ( P ) Pronunciation Key (dskôrs, -krs)
n.

1. Verbal expression in speech or writing.
2. Verbal exchange; conversation.
3. A formal, lengthy discussion of a subject, either written or spoken.
4. Archaic. The process or power of reasoning.

"When the new board becomes a success, remember you had a hand in starting it."

Anybody wanna hear the names of those starting the "new board", it's recruits, as well as the personal digs and comments being made behind our backs? Naaaaaa, I didn't think so. Better to just let the dander ferment, ripen, and then rot.

(To the 'new board':
Who could contractually agree to such blight, or take seriously a suggested contract from the Blighty?)

You got something against the UK Pat??

Naaaa,
I've got nothing against the UK.... some of my fondest memories are from the several years I *lived there. My comment was directed at somebody's attempt (elsewhere) at humor.
