The Second Life forums exist to promote the community of Second Life. Forum threads can contain discussions on a wide range of topics. The discussion may contain dialog that could be classified as a "heated conversation" between various parties. As long as the forum contains relevant discussion to the conversation at hand, Linden Lab will not make any effort to curtail or otherwise censor the conversation.
In the event that the dialog changes from a discussion with conflicting opinions to personal attacks, Linden Lab will lock the thread (prevent further posts).
Please remember that your posts are public, and that any messages posted here are left in perpetuity. We ask that all residents be respectful of differing opinions and thank you for your understanding.
