Debate forum

Look starsevol I asked you for your opinion but all you could do was brag about being opinionated with nothing to say. You then want me to kiss your royal behind because you think I need your input or want to play little word games. You certainly don`t know me so go back to whatever you were doing.

This thread has no doubt been a waste of me time. Bye (Do not subscribe)

Well, you sat there for an hour, and didn't answer me...and that is why I answered the way I did.....guess you nodded off or something.....so now you will get my opinion.
I believe that most people do not like it when people that they don't know (and I don't care if you have been a member here since 2007, nobody knows you), come in here and decide that they want to make suggestions and "shake things up" in ways that can only cause Rich time and money and won't benefit this forum one iota.
I think your idea is quite horrible. I am quite happy with the way this forum is run, and I believe most other members are too.

I don't believe you are making many friends here....

edit to add, this thread has been a waste of time for ALLLLLLLL of us!!
 
I really don't see what can be gained (meaning in a POSITIVE sense) for this site by what is suggested as an addition. Of course, I could be just missing the point entirely, but I'm reading this as a request for a place where members can just ARGUE their fool heads off. :shrugs: Yeah, that sounds like fun..... NOT!

Oh, and for the record, locked threads are not the preferred method of dealing with interpersonal issues on this site. Locking a thread pretty much tells EVERYONE participating within that thread that the TOPIC is now over, and it is (in our determination) something that is best for you to not discuss here. Quite frankly, what happens with this sort of methodology is that even the people having a mature and well controlled discussion get penalized by the few that can't seem to carry on a conversation in that manner. So they get the entire barrel that they are in thrown out with the few bad apples that made it smell funny.

No, my preference is to deal directly with those bad apples and leave the barrel filled with the apples that haven't gone sour. In other words, it's not the topic matter or the environment that has gone bad, it's the few people themselves who have tainted the topic and that environment that need to be dealt with. If the warnings that may progress to a temporary ban don't do the job, then perhaps all the flags on the field mean a more permanent solution is necessary.

Anyway, hope all the rambling on made some sort of sense....
