I absolutely agree with you, Mitch. How many layers of off-topic forums do we need?
I laughed when I saw Rob's Neon thread, but I agree with you that it (the forum, not Rob's thread - I haven't read it) has very quickly gotten out of hand.
I don't want to censor people, but I worry that a forum like the one which has been created will create too much of a focus on what divides us, rather than what brought us together in the first place.
I, for one, will try to stay the hell away from that forum. Maybe that's why it was created - so that people who don't want to read the stuff don't have to. But I still think it's more likely to divide us than bring us together.
