sounds more than a little protectionist, matnum. that doesn't always work out too well.
maybe. but if this is what we need to do to get the, to be kind, jerks out of the house, so be it.
huh. so pizzasnake starts a thread, and in a flash that's the plan? and the follow on 3000 registered members with 5-10 daily...
what i said earlier. and you have rules regarding personal attacks. this'd be real interesting to see what and who lines up as too passive-aggressive.
you and me?
Seriously, my objection is not to the occasional hyperbole, or jabs back and forth, and certainly not the obvious political satire, but rather the intentional obfuscations, misrepresentations, and outright lying some "trolls" employ with the clear intent to inflame, not discuss topics. They are unwilling to engage in respectful discourse on the merits of their arguments.
wgdsr, I often have trouble following you, and you sometimes go hot at me a bit, but I never doubt whether you're trying to actually discuss topics rather than to inflame arguments just for drill. Nor do you engage in the kind of dishonest rhetoric some employ. Moreover, you bring a heck of a lot to the table in actual facts and logic, and experience, offered. I hope that can be said for me too, at least most of the time.
And indeed, I think it can be said for nearly all posters on here. Unfortunately, some bring a very different tone.
I'm ok with the Admin making some incremental calls, with fair warning, on egregious trolling.
And arguing with the ref is surely going to get flagged in any sport...
