So limiting the participants would be the way forward?
Club 66 come to mind
There you go, or one could start their own club! Just have people in it you know get along with each other! .......I imagine it would become boring, but what do I know about that. 😉

As the custodian of Club 66, I have found it difficult to keep the forum active. There's only so many interesting topics. But enlarging the group hasn't been easy, because most of the active public forum posters are entertaining themselves by provoking others into indiscretions.
It's like media in general - good news stories never sold newspapers.

Well the way I see it if you get a group together who all think the same way and don't have discussions that have opposite views it is going to become boring very quickly.

I've always said you need your good guys, bad guys, piece makers, jokesters, etc., etc., which we have discussed in the past to have activity. That is why the General forum works to an extent, but sometimes does get a bit out of control but everyone is allowed their opinion.

"Debates Forum" can get pretty contraversial topics at times with people having strong ideas about things and facts to back them up on both sides of an issue.

You call it posters entertaining themselves by provoking each others, which is a valid point. You do see how ever the threads get more use than the ones where there is no disagreements.

I believe we've had this conversation in the past. We will probably continue to agree to disagree about this Topic.

We could at least try to have ONE thread without Insults (open or hidden ones).
nope

nope
Yes, we could it is just that some don't want that to happen. I was quite willing to go along with it. After all it is only one thread, not going to happen in the whole GF of course.

I wish I had the power to bring him back to life so I could torture him.
He was so damn annoying.

How would you know he was annoying if you weren't here?

All you really have to go by is what people say.

Do you enjoy believing the worst about everyone?

Doing my best to keep up with you, but being an epic failure at trying.
