Damdifino what he means. He'll need to clarify, it would seem.

As a newbie to this forum I must say it was its sub-title that attracted me to join. I am still surprised that it appears not to be noticed by some posters.

I'm intrigued by your statement that the Dhammic-free-for-all is 'invisible.
If you are not logged in you see that there is a free-for-all section, but you cannot look at the content without logging in. That is a relatively recent change.
Yes, this is what i was refering to, that when a guest who is not logged in hits "active topics" the free for all discussions are no longer listed and can not be viewed... i noticed the change right after the move of the "Tolerance" conversation....

We actually implemented the same changes over at ZFI a few months ago, for a few forums. The purpose was to protect member privacy cause people were revealing personal information.
"As Buddhists, we should aim to develop relationships that are not predominated by grasping and clinging. Our relationships should be characterised by the brahmaviharas of metta (loving kindness), mudita (sympathetic joy), karuna (compassion), and upekkha (equanimity)."
