Ban on discussion of religion or politics prevents film discussion.

This is a website, run and maintained privately, not a public forum where we can say what we want. 1st amendment rights do not apply. If the mods want to delete every post that contains incorrect spellings, that is there right. it's their sand box, we have simply been invited in to play because of a similar interest. in the end we abide by their decisions, or we can leave. That is our choice..

Nothing wrong with asking though...

I don't think people stating their beliefs or lack thereof should be deleted or simply stating their opinion. Attacking other people deliberately should be dealt with regardless of their affiliation or lack thereof.

It is important to note that there is no "constitution" that applies here as someone pointed out. This is cyberspace, not USA. Different countries have different laws and view points. It is up to the website owner, mods, admins, etc. to determine what is appropriate and what is not on this site.
So far they have done a very good job here, but it is up to them if they want to deal with a political/religious section for blu-ray reviews.

Couldn't agree more... The crux of my point though is that too many people would incite just to incite, let alone because they disagree philosophically with someone else. The mods would spend too much time monitoring these off-topic discussions and not the pertinent ones. THAT takes away from this site, and IMO is why it won't happen.
