Take Rec/Unrec out of the GLBT Forum.
(Cross-posted from the GLBT Forum.)

There are a number of forums where Rec/Unrec just aren't allowed. The Israel/Palestine one, for example. Or the 9/11 dungeon.

The recent assault on a number of threads in the GLBT forum by the Unrec brigade, who seem to take personal offense at any implication that President Obama is doing anything less than feeding GLBT Americans cake and singing them lullabies at bedtime every night, leads me to suggest that it's time that our forum have Rec and Unrec turned off.

This forum should be our safe haven. I don't want those who think that we're less than fully human to decide which of our topics are important and which are not.

1. I don't think we should do that.
I see no reason why LGBT threads should not be eligible for the Greatest Page, just like threads from almost every other forum.

My impression is that when people unrecommend threads in the LGBT forum, it is not because they think you are less than fully human, or disagree with LGBT rights or something like that. Usually, it's because they disagree with the way a particular news item is being portrayed by the OP.
