Lounge threads need purpose now?

[BCWolfen]

I feel that as long as threads stay civil there is nothing wrong with 'risky' topics.

If anyone is offended by the topic they have the choice to not click on the link and participate.

Although if a mod feels a thread is taking a turn for the worse then it should be locked. No questions asked.

We are all privilaged to be a part of this great forum and, as the religion thread has shown, are quite capable of discussing even risky topics with maturity and respect for others' views.
