The General Discussion forum restricts certain topics because those issues have dedicated partisans on either side who tend to quickly pull the discussion into META territory. Think of it as similar to the Israel/Palestine restriction - both sides have very passionate views and are quite happy to "fling poo" at each other all day.

I can attest that most of the forum Hosts are sympathetic to your viewpoint on the topic, but also understand the reasoning behind the SOP created by the Admins. That SOP is like the Host rulebook that they enforce.
