This is a website, not a religion.
- olefoo 18y agoSome would say it is a cult: 1. charismatic leader 2, group indoctrination at a segregated living facility 3. a common goal that is very rarely questioned publicly But as cults go it's a fairly innocuous one, on a par with the chamber of commerce or a particularly hard working fraternity. More like an Art School really.

- mkyc 18y agoI don't see the relevance. Social groups enforce norms. This turns out to be yet another way that we enforce our norms, and maintain a healthy community. This leads to great articles and discussion. I think that quips should be modded away in the same way and for the same reasons that tasteless jokes are.
- vorador 18y agoRigid social norms don't always mean an healthy society. See for instance the indian cast system. There is a balance to find between keeping norms and accepting newcomers. And a quip can also be a valid reflection, btw.
