IMO this place could do with a little more heat. If you want people to bring light you have to be able to deal with some moderate amount of friction, heat and smoke.

That is not to say that it has to be a free-for-all but short of shouting matches and flaming there is the lively debate and normal discussions of the subjects heretofore forbidden. Subjects that tie in with survival if only indirectly. If you want to have people visit often and contribute they have to be able to say what is on their minds and do so without fear as long as they stay within the limits of civil discussion. If you want the good stuff you have to put up with some nominal level of friction and the voicing of strong emotions.

But then again, this isn't my forum so do as you wish.
