freedom of speech, or whatever topic of interest someone wants to open up for a very momentary spotlight, and reasonably
accurate data.

Can we keep threads open a bit longer, until the discussion covers some of the nuances of policy? Even when everything make sense to admins, it seems like the reason to have it on MetaTalk instead of via email is to clarify it for the rest of us. E.g., the recent "self-link" post was about someone getting banned for posting an article published by the same magazine he writes for. Presumably the magazine is just promotey and not cool or something, but I would've asked in thread if it were left open (I'd assume the same standard wouldn't apply if you were published by the New Yorker or something)

Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz
known also as Witkacy,
was an
absurdist
playwright,
a
painter,
a
philosopher,
an
aesthetician,
a
novelist, and
generally a prolific artist since
about the age of 8.
He lived from 1885 to 1939, and often has just the right mix of sharp wit, deep insight, and self-reflective irony.

M. is a girl living as a boy
and his school is helping to keep his secret. Is that just asking for trouble? And should a 13 year old be considered for gender-reassignment therapy or is this just an extreme case of tomboy-ism that s/he'll grow out of?

For any unconvinced that demonstrations
against corporate greed are called for, take a look at this documentary about a section of NAFTA which allows corporations to sue governments (in private tribunals) for having laws which get in the way of their profits. One current example is a canadian company suing the US gov't for an environmental law which bans their product.

Genetic engineering leaves mice impervious to pain.
By removing a protein called "DREAM", scientists were able to create rodents that didn't mind extreme heat, pressure and inflammation. This could provide hope for those suffering, or a strange removal from the experience of living, and classic human traits like bravery, strength, volition, and empathy, depending on your view.
