thus your rule that everything must be answered is suspect.. and should i think be reviewed.. and changed to allow more flexibility in discussion.

after all would it be wrong to shut someone down just because they dont have every answer? are we all to be Einsteins now? and pull the knowledge out of a hat?

2) the idea that you would openly state that we should be prepared for.."attacks"
is i think a bad choice of words.. its fundamental in your rules.. which contradicts the basics of calm nice discussions...
attacks are quick and mean.. and have nothing to do with sharing ideas and knowledge.

the survival of the strong and fittest is for the jungle.!

we are supposed to be better than that...

Yes I agree whole heartedly with your direction. That is the best attitude for allowing ideas to flow,and to maintain the enthusiasm.
May I quote Trenton's first principle: Nothing is absolutely right and nothing is absolutely wrong. but everything is necessary.

We pride ourselves on our democratic values. So here is my definition:
A democratic society gives each member of that society, The Freedom to Make Responsible Choices. Responsible not only to themselves but also to the other members of that society.
Each person must respect other people's freedom to make responsible choices. If you don't agree. Then that is your freedom of choice.
