No one is getting shut down or censored. We welcome free speech at B4!
I am just reminding everyone to please be courteous and avoid direct judgmental statements towards others.

Ultimately, there is no polarity. And you're right that STS has its place. However, we are in the density of Choice, in which we choose STS or STO path. Thus, what might be appropriate for someone choosing the STS path might not be appropriate for someone choosing the STO path.
We all have different opinions about what is appropriate, which is why respect is required.

We are each entitled to our own opinions; you, me, Lorna, everyone. Lorna isn't going to be censored any more than you would be.
I personally agreed with Lorna. I personally could not play a violent videogame. Especially after seeing a movie called The 13th Floor (which, incidentally, had redeeming value as a creative work of art!) in which the main characters turned out to be digital characters in a video game. I just can't quite bring myself to shoot zombies after that! Who knows how many potential entities I'd be killing, or thoughtforms I'd be creating!
