don't understand the problem.

Can we not all, start a thread with our thought, song, poem, quote, rant, limerick, joke, question, answer, or whatever, of the day, week, month, year, century or whatever? Is that not the reason the forum has grown to be the place that it is and will continue to grow into the place it will be (hopefully).

Just start a thread on the forum using any title you choose. If Max asks you not to do it on that subject (which is indeed rare), then don't do it but don't take any notice of any other opinion. For the only opinion that matters is shown by the contributions to that thread. If the subject is not generally appreciated the thread will die of 'starvation'. Which is the very best criticism and the only effective method of dealing with an 'unsuitable' subject (or poster). If contributors keep posting to that thread to say how unsuitable the subject is and try to 'bully' their opinions on others, then they are defeating their own end and should start their own thread and open up their opinions to the same "effective method".

I would make a distinction to posts to existing threads, where the tone set by the originator of the thread should be respected.

"If you build it they will come" Some may come. Some may come to knock it down and you should ignore them. Some may not come at all and you have your answer. …But you do have to be positive and build it first.

The Mudcat Songbook is a good example of this. …Just, do it!..…Start your thread…. I'll read it…Once anyway…

Well, I have even been known to have THREE thoughts in one whole day!
