No! Here is why...
1 - Open discussions can be joined by anyone. We don't discuss over matters just for ourselves, anyone can enter the discussion, like the religion discussion was joined by Dark Elite, etc...
2 - Forum is a FORUM. It's a word romans used for market, open space. Talk so much? This is what chats are for. This is forum, forum is for disputes and discussions. PMing is for personal things, not open-to-the-public. If everyone would PM each other, forums won't be forumed but PMorums (sounds senseless? it should).
Why are you offended so much? Who prevents you from speaking? You're not enforced to read this all, either.
