BEFORE ASSUMPTIONS ARE MADE, READ THE POST.

EDIT: Perhaps I should change the discussion. Rather than cite the forum as a whole as totalitarianistic, let's refer to the "hierarchy" of this site. Once again, I'm not implying a thing. This is only a discussion, open to many things. i.e. If it isn't a totalitarian site, what is it?

First off, I just want to express the FACT that I do NOT want any flaming in this thread. This is a discussion, a debate... not an uncivilized argument.

I realize that I may get a lot of shit for this, and in response to that I would just like to point out that just because I may have pushed the topic does not mean I'm implying anything. This is all a matter of opinion, and surely your opinion will differ with someone else's, in which case you should not try to insult them. An opinion is an opinion, and everyone has the right to one.

In the event of which this thread has to be closed due to the constant flinging of petty insults and pointless arguments, I understand. However, if the thread is closed without any rhyme or reason, I will not.

Be reasonable, be nice, and be understanding.

For reference, totalitarianism is when the state of things strongly coincide with that of authoritarianism, and usually under one person's rule. The ruler (dictator, actually) gets to govern and regulate everything, and no other individual gets to voice their opinion, rendering it impossible to make changes with the people, for the people, and by the people.

Of course, I mean it more lightly than this. Obviously this site isn't completely totalitarianistic (if it were) to the fullest extent, because it's not actually possible for it to become one. (i.e. we CAN leave whenever we want.)

Let the discussion begin.
