I've never seen folks on the Rust forums shy away from detailed
debate of technical points.
I do get that it's not nice to feel there are people looking over
your shoulder policing your tone, but in general, all the rules
come down to is "don't be a [TECHNICAL TERM]". Which isn't
_that_ hard, and is something we all ought to aim for.
At the end of the day we're in a lucky position, because our
community is smaller and closer-knit, that we can get away
without much moderation. Rust's forum rules are an inevitable
consequence of growth, and to a degree some of their growth may
have been made easier because they pro-actively enforced
standards of community behaviour from early on.
