No. Not really. FD is the place where ego's rule and manners are
unknown. Think UseNet circa 1995.

If these bother you then you will likely not find this a very
comforting home.

Yes.

I like the idea of belief in drug-prohibition as a religion in that it
is a strongly held belief based on grossly insufficient evidence and
bolstered by faith born of intuitions flowing from the very beliefs
they are intended to support.
