'Beyond SE23' does have a range of different topics and was created for this reason (at my suggestion), but the discussion is only going to be as diverse as the threads people start and respond to. I would encourage people to start threads about any topic they think might be of interest and hopefully admin will take a relaxed attitude to discussions.

What you do notice occasionally on EDF is some fairly unpleasant and personal comments about people posting on the forum and I am pleased that Admin discourages this type of behaviour on this forum. In the early days of this forum similar problems occurred here and I would not like to see us return to that type of discussion.

Most people do manage to express themselves with various numbers of ***, we don't need to have language that some may find offensive all over the forum (I did once find I wasn't allowed to use the naughty word 'assess' but Admin fixed that). Disallowing bad language encourages more creative use of language, take it as a challenge!

It is nice to have a chance to discuss such issues on this forum, which for various reasons has not happened previously.
