Fewer insults on the board?

This place is getting worse and worse for insults.

Is that what we really want? There are threads with good discussions going on, but you have to wade thru pages of insults and garbage to filter out the actual discussion.

And I don't care to hear any of the "he started it" or "She is lying" nonsense.

Does anyone else give a damn about the fact that this place has more flame wars than debates?
 
Just shut the fuck up, you goddamn board nazi!

Why do you always insist on telling other people how they should act?

Oh, that's right, you're an authoritarian socialist, who can't help but tell people how to act!

Jeez Dixie,I am not telling anyone how to act. I am talking about the lack of discussion and the huge volume of trash talking and insults that ruin the discussions there are.

Well the way I see it, there are two options, you either put up with it, or you lay down the law. Some boards lay down the law, they have little nazi-like mods similar to Grind, who impose their will on others, and make everyone conform to their standards. The only reason Grind doesn't do that here, is because Damo keeps him on the leash. I assure you, if Damo ever gave the order, Grind would ban about half of us, and you'd have to walk around on eggshells, wondering if he was going to find something offensive about what you posted all the time.

Like it or not, this is the best alternative. You have the tools to ignore users (except Grind). That helps, but they just create new identities and keep on, so you have to be diligent with that.

The political discourse in America has been in the gutter for quite some time, and the only way it will ever return to civility, is if both sides call a truce and start over, and I don't see that happening anytime soon. We are drifting further and further apart on an ideological level, and unfortunately, the way that usually gets resolved, is with a bloody and devastating civil war. And yes, I do think it will eventually come to that, because history indicates it will. When men can no longer have civil discourse, they will have war....it's just how it goes.

I am glad that you and I have never stooped to these tactics in our discourse, Sol.

Damo keeps Grind on a leash? That sounds really HAWT. The one kind of porn I can kinda get into is gay porn, because it's not based on hating women. It sounds like I am not alone huh Dix?

As to your description of a board that Grind had complete run of....I know, I can't wait until he, inevitably, strikes out on his own! I :loveu: Grind and he totally rules as mod!
