Criticism and Published Material

This has, historically, been a place where friends could gather to casually discuss a common, esoteric passion. Have there been arguments, and heated, spirited debate? Certainly. But one of the nice things about this forum is that it is almost completely free from so much that makes similar places on the web so unpleasant. I want it to stay that way.

Were we to abandon this perspective, I predict this place would quickly degenerate and many participants would stop posting. I, myself, have stopped posting on other fora for this reason. We've all seen it.

**Please don't turn this thread into a rehash or discussion about my decision to close the Armenian King thread. If any futher comments are made about that, I will lock this thread. Thanks.**
