in thread [OT] How about an Off Topic Section?

I guess that there would have to be some rules. Some indication of what is an acceptable off-topic and what is not.

As a first filter; I would suggest: "MUST be programming related." It's a catch-all, with doubtless many possible (deliberate or otherwise) misinterpretations. But still a valuable starting point.

I'd probably add a list of specific, verboten subjects. The big four + politics would probably cover off most things; but its a minefield.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". I'm with torvalds on this
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. Agile (and TDD) debunked
