I am about to get controversial..

Hi Folks,

While I appreciate the vibrancy of this debate, this topic is off-limits for discussion on the public forums under the following guideline:

4. Show Respect to All Groups and Individuals

No derogatory references to sex, gender, weight, body-type, ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation, or endorsement of violence against any person or group, even if couched in humor, will be permitted. This includes expressing stereotypes about any group or community.

While the efficacy of spanking may be debatable, the fact this it is an act of violence is not up for debate. So the public forums can't sustain conversations on this topic.

Thanks for your understanding,
Steven
