You make your "no negative" rule into one which everybody HAS to agree...no deviation.. and cannot voice their oppinion. So, in other words, the words "I don't like.." can NEVER be used on this site, and that is very unfair. Socrates argued that political argument HAD to have some conflict in it, so you mind as well say we can't discuss politics.
I also wanted to say, Mental Health is a *very* political issue, as different political parties have different views on the subject. For example, in an op-ed piece in the New York Times a few years ago, a Republican Senator claimed that most people who now get mental health treatment shouldn't be getting it. They also said mental health sufferers in jail belong there, and don't deserve treatment. Is that not political?
I understand yoou need to keep order, but you have us walking on eggshells, to the point where we can't say whether we agree with something or not. I'd rather you just ban the topic than imposing censorship on a simple "yes" or "no".
Thanks for listening...
Jay

Yes, but it was only for the election:

No problem, people are free to voice their views -- as long as they don't put down those of others.

So fewer eggs break?
