I am fairly lenient about rules. You can talk about basically any topic here, as long as you do so respectfully and do not use it as an avenue to attack somebody over.
And I am aware of the paradox of tolerance, so don't try to use that ol' trick to weasel your way out of things.
But, do keep in mind that I reserve the right to time-out or ban anybody as I see fit, even without warning. Though I will try to be fair and give warnings where I believe they will be productive.
