The administration here at Captain Cynic takes the human need for exploration of topics without condemnation very seriously. It is part of the fabric of the environment that we want to nurture through our discussion forums.

We believe people should have the freedom to talk about and explore ideas, thoughts, opinions, no matter how taboo, controversial or socially unacceptable those subjects may seem. However, many people have a tendency to respond to individuals exploring such topics with degradation, verbal abuse and negativity. Rather than aid the explorer to explore, people demonstrate attempts to cripple and belittle the individual who ventures to stimulate topics of controversy.

It takes a certain mental maturity and emotional stability to participate in discussions that push ones own comfort zone. To be a contributor on Captain Cynic, such maturity is a necessity which is why we require all individuals who wish to contribute in discussions to apply by completing an application questionnaire.

If your responses to the questionnaire demonstrate that you are someone who will benefit and nurture the environment here at Captain Cynic, you will be welcomed as a contributor to the forums.
