I do agree with flying_neko for the "spirit" but also understand the point of the webmaster for the practical things:
If you want to discuss sofware patents, you should have a look on the usenet: misc.int-property There is currently a thread about it, and some very good comments from professionals. That's the place where you should discuss this topic. Or just click on the above banner to get another point of view... About Live8, there must also be a website/forum where people can discuss this. Pointing to it in a msg in this forum will not hurt anyone. Those interested will follow the link. Others can ignore it.
About bad players habits... well, you can just post a link to the game to show what is happening... with some teasing may be, but we can avoid insults for sure...
