Now, especially the fact it has been less than a year since we voted on them, more drama is going to ensure again for sure.

I'm against the usage of the word, but I'm worried with how the community is going to respond with arguments and drama we're gonna get nothing done. Which is basically a trademark here. OK, on the topic being discussed in this thread, I'm going to remain in a neutral position. I don't have enough insight to weigh in on either side (if there is indeed going to be two sides) of the discussion; I used to be a regular here, but I've been away too long. Personally, I don't care if someone uses curse words or not, but that won't hold much weight in the matter at hand.

I have a bit of an issue with your attitude toward arguments. Drama, I can understand, I suppose, but arguments, if done right, are actually more productive than one may realize.

You see, stuff like this has to pass the test of reason first before it can be put into practice; the ultimate test, if you will. I'd say this should be true of any policy.

I'd say there's a world of a difference between an argument and a shouting match. Criticism, no matter how ruthless it may seem (or actually be), is invaluable in determining whether an idea holds up or not.
