This is from a personal essay on the ethics, cultural concerns and morality on the boundaries of human life, including the implications for abortion and stem cell research.
Forum guideline 3:
When introducing a new topic, please keep the message narrowly focused. Do not include more than a few points.
Not that it's stopped some of your other "monsters", but I think this is way to much to fit the guidelines of what should be a new topic.
I guess we could file this in the "Coffee House" as a closed reference topic. But it does not seem proper to promote it to open debate.
I think we need much more specific focus.

It really helps moderators figure out if a topic is disintegrating because of general misbehavior versus someone in particular if the originally non-misbehaving members kept it that way. When everyone is prickly and argumentative and off-topic and personal then it's just too difficult to tell. We have neither infinite time to untie the Gordian knot, nor the wisdom of Solomon.
There used to be a comedian who presented his ideas for a better world, and one of them was to arm everyone on the highway with little rubber dart guns. Every time you see a driver doing something stupid, you fire a little dart at his car. When a state trooper sees someone driving down the highway with a bunch of darts all over his car he pulls him over for being an idiot.
Please make it easy to tell you apart from the idiots.
