Unlike the 'Open Discussion' forum, the 'News and Commentary' forum on Highlander will be composed of news articles, current event stories, and linked interesting articles, etc.  These will be posts that will attempt to keep us all abreast of what is happening in the modern world.  And, unlike FaceBook, Google, Twitter, and their ilk, there will be no censorship of posted comments by registered users.  Just remember the basic rule we all learned from the movie 'Road House' - be nice.  You can be firm and committed to a particular belief, philosophy, and/or ideology, but be nice to your fellow travelers.  Simple, eh?
