Its a meta discussion about the this community. Lets assume this discussion is continued in an other newsgroup. And lets asume the result would be quite weird. For example our moral standards would be that everyone is obligated to use their full real name in this newsgroup. Or on the contrary everyone would be obligated to use a nickname. With this result we would come back to this newsgroup as "our moral standards". Let me guess, that would not never be accepted. Which seems quite logical to me.
So what if our moral standards can not be discussed? Don't we have any moral standards?
When you say "moral standards can not be discussed", you are alluding to some kind of censorship. You *can* discuss it, but in another venue which is more specific to that topic.
I'm not sure if this falls under "moral standards" as defined by you, but one "standard" on mailing lists is to join the list, see what type of messages appear as they come in or in archives, and post messages that stay on topic. I think if you look back at the archives, you will notice that your question is probably off-topic. Please see for yourself:

So, no one is picky on you specifically or your enthusiasm...it's just (AFAIK) not on topic to this list...
