This forum is too good to have a Taboo Topic X
Percy, you've got one of the best forums of this genre on the Internet. You've attracted some of the best writers, thinkers, and funny people available, who are always stimulating and draw favorable attention to your site. I've learned a great deal here”something like being on a college campus again. And this is why it seems so out of character for this site to have a designated Taboo Topic X. It is as if a forum on human health has decided to ban all discussions on flatulence and bowel movements.
In my private reality, nothing is prohibited from being discussed. But I'll respect your private reality, especially since you are the generous one who gives us EvC. Taboo Topic X will not be raised again by me. But I predict that it will not go away, because it is a measure of the evolution of human consciousness, and because it criers out for scientific analysis.
Suspend me or ban me if you must, if only for violating a posting law. Your site will still have truck with me. (btw: the oft dubious enforcements of the admins are part of the fun here, too.)

What is your point?
The term "Wittgenstein" means absolutely nothing to me, and I feel no obligation to research it.
My point is this Message 4. ("What we cannot speak about we must pass over in silence.")

Percy, I am a reformed EvC poster, per your authoritarian admonition. I'm staying out of other people's business from now on.
