What are your thoughts on the Wiki Leaks scandal?

[naivejenni]

Does freedom of speech exisit or is this a new era of public humiliation and privacy being trampled?

I think this is political and there is already a thread going in the P&R forum:

I tried to access the link above, but was denied. Either I don't have enough points, or there is a conspiracy. Hmmmm....

So I will say it here: the Wikileaks don't seem to reveal anything important. Just a bunch of gossip and hearsay. How noble. And it embarrasses our diplomats and makes their jobs more difficult.

We'll know more as the weeks and months roll on.

My two cents,

"In our general forums we're reverting to our previous standards and restrict political and religious topics that have absolutely no connection to our site's theme (e-books, reading, publishing, etc.).

For anyone who is genuinely interested in discussing politics and religion, we've set in place a special usergroup ('Hardened Debaters').

Joining this usergroup means you wish to access our new Politics and Religion forum section and that you agree that you can handle the discussions that take place there in a mature and respectable manner. It goes without saying that our guidelines in terms of discussing things politely still apply.

So, if you're for these types of discussions, go to Group Memberships in your control panel and click on "Join Group" to join the "Hardened Debaters" group. That's all there's to it, you should now be able to see the Politics and Religion discussion forum on the main forum index. Leave the group at any time if you want to opt out again."
