Quote - It's either take it site mail, drop it, or end up with every thread locked by the mods.

The locked threads are going to be on the decrease. The number of deleted posts and suspensions however will increase depending on how many people choose to follow the ToS and be respectful to each other vs how many continue to insist on arguing and derailing threads. 

I don't mind any issue being debated as long as it's poser-related and remains civil and is within the limits of ToS. I don't like the way some moderators in the past have made certain topics off-limits, but I understand why they took that approach. I don't think that's fair to the majority of people who want to discuss those topics civilly and productively and are able to do so without getting emotional about it. 

I'm also working on a couple of community projects that I'm hoping admin will approve of.

Frankly, were it up to me, I'd wall off a section of the forum where the normal rules don't apply, call it the War Zone, and let you have at it.

  That was already attempted once (minus the 'normal rules don't apply' part) in the form of an off-topic forum, but it was shut down due to the constant arguing. It doesn't promote a sense of community, which is what Renderosity's intentions are.
