However, there is no good reason to prevent the discussion of religion and politics. Yes, this wiki is about writing stories, not discussing the existence of a god or Obamacare, but since when has a wiki restricted itself to only discussing what it's devoted to?

FriendlyJim: I have seen this as well. I have changed my religious views twice due to an exchange of thoughts with other people. The idea that one's beliefs cannot be changed and that what we think will always remain that way is unfounded. I take it you don't go to many wikis, do you? More than a handful prohibit discussion of anything other than the wikis topic.

Another thing. This isn't a wiki where you come to have your eyes "opened" by other peoples beliefs. It is a place for creepy stories. My intention isn't to enlighten anyone. All I ask is the ability to speak without being told to be quiet because it's a potentially controversial subject. As for more than a handful of wikis prohbiting discussion of anything other than the wiki's topic, you are correct. However, there are several wikis that are very laid back about it as well. Also, the fact that this wiki is a place for creepy stories is all the more reason to be less restrictive of what can be discussed; why can't we talk about what we write about?
