actually it's not bad at all over there. can't say I agree with every opinion but most people consider what others post and come up with their own response(as opposed to many forum where you have a significant number of posters look for the proper trigger in someone else's post and then immedeately spew the same rhetoric they used in the last 800 posts).
you can pretty much post anything you want, as long as it's not porn.
personal attacks on the Moderator? not a problem he takes it in stride and the posts stay up.
actually there hasn't been much banning and the only complaints I've really heard where guys whining because their political posts got moved to the political forum (the horror, thats outrageous)
