Unfortunately this topic is under review at this time.

 

I have made the original post visible so you know that it has been tried to be discussed. The topic is locked for now, please do not try to start a new conversation until we can set out some guidelines for us all.

 

Please have patience.

From the Forum Moderation Team:

 

The moderation team recognises that this is something that the community may want to discuss/debate in detail. However, we also recognise that it's partially a political discussion and under GA site rules, we do not allow political discussions on the forums.

 

We therefore ask that if you wish to discuss this issue please feel free to use a blog. Although the original post was not political in nature, it did evolve to that on the remaining posts.

 

I will be PM'ing the responding people their comments so they may reuse them if they like if a blog should start up on this issue.

 

Thank you for your understanding of us trying to keep politics out of the forums.
