I never liked the rule being removed, and I certainly feel now more than ever we would benefit from having religious and political discussions banned from bungie.net again.
How does everyone else feel? Do you feel that our community is mature enough to handle these discussions when people everywhere else seemingly can't?

I'm torn on the subject, personally. On one hand.. hell no this place isn't nearly mature enough to handle it. Not even a little. And there's a fare amount of hypocrisy in banning someone for "explicit sexuality" for using the word masturbation, yet there seems to be no issue at all with bashing someone's religious or political beliefs. If the user base is too young for sexual talk.. then how the ever-loving -blam!- is it old enough for the other? But on the other hand, I really, really don't trust Bungie's ability to tighten down on such things without cracking down on a whole host of other things that aren't a problem in the process. Remember.. these are the same people who decided that we were all getting too rowdy and figured the best way to settle us down was by banning forum games for crying out loud..
