Hi Jazz,
I have just posted a message in adminforum asking for some clarification on Coffee House topics.
I am of the opinion that the Coffee House wasn't designed to be a place where people open threads that have been refused elsewhere, but I haven't been here much lately so I could be wrong, anyway I have at least brought your concerns to the attention of all the other mods. Hopefully, I will have some clarification soon and let you know as soon as I can.
I am also of the opinion that a Coffee House should be a place to relax and have a nice friendly chat, but it seems that recently there have been quite a few tense discussions there.
AdminBrian.
