Given that people come here, and some of them are not of majority age, then... what? Any topic is appropriate to discuss? I'm trying to figure out your position. Your examples aren't helping.
(Then, we can figure out how you can persuade the owners to adopt the same position.)

01101001, I stressed my point on post 24. The bottom line is: kids who come here are not dumb. If they can follow tensors, they can read about prostitution, provided that the topic is presented in a civilized manner.
Behavioral morals derives from religion and primitive taboos. Scientists and science-oriented people shouldn´t be subscribing to it.

Well, yes, it was partly tongue-in-cheek.

Obviously there was another post, which crossed a line which caused the mods to close it.

Well, to my level of English understanding I saw no crossing of lines. But I could be wrong, since there must have been some slang that escaped me.

Because the post was closed you were a little angry/offended and suggested therefore to close everything which is "off topic".

The problem is that the OTB section is the most resource demanding, in terms of infrastructure and mod work.

Because having fun on a kids level is something you regard as boring and could therefore ommitted?

I see it as a sorta cafe´, where scientists and/or the intelligent people who come here can discuss lighter topics, and intelligent kids, the kind who would come here, can partake. But I would appreciate an adult level of coversation [remember there´s a fun´n´game section where 'the boy within' can express]. I expect humor but not idiocy [not that there is some, mind you].
Of course I could be wrong.
And I´m not 'offended' nor am saying that ToSeek was wrong, or that there was censorship [which does not apply here, a private instance]. He did what he had to do, because there are constraints, which we are discussing.
