These topics should definitely occur, something like this has to happen ocaisonally, but it needs to go to FreeBSD-chat, where the list topics are very specifically allowed great latitude. The FreeBSD-Questions list is very obvioiusly to help folks, and not to debate list usage, or any of the varied purposes it's been pushed to recently. I'm not saying don't discuss it, I'm saying, if it's *not* FreeBSD tech support, then please take it to FreeBSD-Chat, where you folks all know it belongs. Some of the comments I've seen threatening silly things liek dropping FreeBSD itself for abuse of lists, shouldn't ask for censorship, but those kind of complaints actually should be complaints about where these things are going to. You can discuss *absolutely* anything you want on FreeBSD-chat, so why don't you take advantage of that? I myself will actively support anyone's privilege to say whatever they please, if you just use the correct list to do it.
