I disagree. This forum is for JW topics, which this clearly falls under. I hope the following does not sound too harsh.
We allow Gary his fringe topics. A thread dedicated to Russell's gravesite falls under the FPP much more clearly than some of Gary's topics and is therefore acceptable.
If a JW thread is of no interest to anyone, it will die by simply being ignored.
Free speech includes allow people to post whatever interests them. If we start screening based on topic, then politics, etc. kick in about what is an "acceptable" topic.
If we want specific reforms we should organize around desired reforms. This implies that a central body decides what reforms to push for. Many businesses are ran this way, and it is quite effective. At present, H2O is not ran that way.
At present, I think insulting posts pose more of a problem to H2O than gravesite posts.
Besides, it has historical interest.
