For the original discussion about taboos, I agree completely. My requests for proof were about komponisto's comment that

My claim is simply that participants in this forum are statistically unlikely to be dangerous people.

That was in the other subthread so perhaps this is my fault for replying to the wrong comment. The two threads have been referencing each other quite a lot though.

Thanks for that clarification. It seems the more Kompo refines these claims the less I agree with them.

I would argue that people on this forum are significantly more likely to be dangerous. For my part I consider myself to be far more resourceful than the average person and would take offence at a claim that I am not dangerous. Furthermore, I suggest the people here are much more likely to form their morals for reasons other than whatever works best in their social environment. That more or less means "off the rails".

Maybe you're right. But, as I indicated elsewhere, I don't think that that was the most important issue. I'm more interested in the censorship/taboo discussion.
