The mods need to watch this thread. It's already getting ugly and could (and probably will) turn into a full blown anti-semitic flame war very soon.

We don't pre-judge rulebreaking. If someone breaks out the flamethrowers, let us know specific posts. In the meantime, debate is allowed.

Okay then. OceanDrive posted a link to an openly anti-semitic site called "Jew Watch" as a "source".

We don't require political correctness either. If somebody posts something which offends you, but does not break the rules of the site (Any content that is: obscene, illegal, threatening, malicious, defamatory, spam), we're not going to censor it. Feel free to debate the poster with facts and civil reasoning.

Max Barry believes that healthy debate will do more to encourage creative and cogent thinking than suppression of unpopular ideas. I think he's on to something there.
