General Discussion (Forum): About This Forum
Statement of Purpose

Discuss politics, issues, and current events. No posts about Israel/Palestine, religion, guns, showbiz, or sports unless there is really big news. No conspiracy theories. No whining about DU.

And they post breathless Pope fan stories with great regularity and the GD hosts allow them to remain, although the rules say no posts about religion. The SOP is good and should be followed or Skinner should correct it to allow for religious threads.
