I think the main issue is that I was interpreting your point about the public forum’s perception as a fear that people outside could see EA as weird (in a broad sense). I would be fine with this.
But at the same time, I hope that people already interested in EA don’t get the impression from the forum that the topics are limited. On the contrary, I would love to have many discussions here, not restricted by fear of outside perception.
