In response to Darv's thread seeking the one word summary of the state of the forums, this is for anyone who wants to elaborate further on why they feel the way they do.

Somebody once told me that participating in most forums is like running in the Special Olympics and I think that is true to a certain extent. While I was greatly in favor of the creation of the Spirituality forum, I think now all of the forums I participate (or have participated in the past) are just the same old thing:

General: Random smatterings followed by an occassional smarta$$ remark by some pre-puberty,non-sub (Bowmann, Mel B, etc). Some are great threads but many seem to be non-sequiter (myself not excluded from this type of contribution)

Debates: Bush/America bashing. I'm not saying its not justified but come on Stang, it does get a little old.

Spirituality: The God Squad (dj2becker, RBHILL, blindfaith101) with all of the threads abouts why Christianity is great and you suck if you are not a Christian.

Could I make it better? No. It's just an observation.

We have high levels on intellectual debate.

We have idiot ramblings.

We have a community as diverse as the world itself.

I think the forums represent a good cross section of the world.

Therefore, they are o.k.

Then there's the level-of-commitment factor, some take the forums more seriously than do others, some spend more time in them than others.

Nyxie searches the forum for seraphimvulture and proceeds to do a Trinity 'Matrix' kick at him. He expertly dodges it and reaches for the leftover morning star on the ground.

Meanwhile Joe Fist huddles in the corner with his squishy bear sobbing

I for one enjoy the big 4I in the forums: Idiocy, Insanity, Ineptitude & Insults. I have to be a professional throughout my working day and it is refreshing to let my guard down in the forums.

This site is some of the best therapy money can buy. Plus, its filled with good people and most of you have a sense of humor even more twisted than mine.

My one word summary is: Donkey

I have only been frequenting these forums for a few months but, to me, it seems that have greatly deteriorated in that small amount of time. All hell seems to have broken loose recently. There seems to be a lot of bad feeling and animosity floating about.
I myself have had a few stupid arguments over nothing. but these have quickly simmered down, and nothing else has been said. Other people though, just want to carry this ill feeling on and on between themselves, with others being dragged in through loyalties, beer, etc.
Can we nominate a 'PEACE IN THE FORUMS DAY', where everyone has to be nice to one another?

Somehow i get the feeling that perhaps it didn't. Okay, maybe it has always been like an asylum wing then. Now I feel at home. 🙄
