Am I the only one who is thrilled with the current situation of the debate forum?
I used to not even bother reading those 10 paged posts because I knew it was nothing my limited knowlidge of the English language can handle.
Now that the forum is just about fights (Although these fights are much more sufisticated then the ussual ones I am involved in, and they do contain better language, a fight is still a fight! 😉)
Just kidding about the fight part, I am not infavor of keeping this forum a battlefiled.But I would like it to stay light hearted like now, because I find it much funner, and much less of a burdon then before.

1. Entertaining, lively debate on differing views of topical themes?
2. A soul-destroying re-hashing of unchangeable views? Party A: "You are a libellor; apologise." Party B: "You are a bully; stop." Repeat to fade.

Are you boneheaded enough to think that one exists without the other?

Originally posted by RavelloAn analogy: imagine I really like ice cream. I go to an ice cream parlour, and there are 100 different flavours of ice cream on sale. Great! There are ten flavours I don't like, but that's OK. There are 90 more I like.
I repeat
There are hundreds of other threads and ten other forums if you don't like late discussions here.
Edit:to ivanfries
Now I go to another ice cream parlour. It claims to sell '100 different flavours of ice cream'. There are still ten flavours I don't like. But hang on...50 of the so-called flavours of ice cream aren't ice cream at all! There some second-rate, ersatz, yoghurty crap. Hmm. I feel a little cheated. And even though there's 40 flavours of ice cream I do like, to my mind it's not as good as the first ice cream parlour.
I'm now thinking about not coming back here...is that my fault?

Originally posted by ivangriceYep, sounds like you should stick to the first ice cream parlour (the general forum).

Please note I have not taken sides in the current unpleasantness. I just wish this 'phase' (or whatever it is) passes quickly.

Seriously. I do.
I was at a film festival tonight, and I'm sure they were watering down my beer.
Well, I'm not 100% sure, but I'm sure enough to want to object.
