Even though some of the readers of MR may be teenagers, any subject should be able to be discussed without being inflammatory. You know......like adults!!
MR is unique, in that it is the first site that most new ebook readers come to to learn, and then go into the Lounge for other discussions and ideas.
Let's make it a pleasant stay.

But I go back to what I previously suggested - that what
should be able to be discussed is not what, via experience,
can be discussed without devolution. Thus, the Religion and Politics guideline (why those threads often end up closed). Although not always clear-cut, topics on religion and politics are defined against in the Guidelines. Strictly speaking they cannot be closed too soon.
I'm not sure about the teenager thing. Are you suggesting that teenagers are often the cause of trouble, or talking about topics too "adult" for teens?
Cheers,
