No.  Not really.  FD is the place where ego's rule and manners are
unknown.  Think UseNet circa 1995.

If these bother you then you will likely not find this a very comforting
home.

Yes.

I like the idea of belief in drug-prohibition as a religion in that it is
a strongly held belief based on grossly insufficient evidence and
bolstered by faith born of intuitions flowing from the very beliefs they
are intended to support.
