@Martin saidI had a similar idea which I'm not sure I posted, where each new OP in Debates should be a clearly defined proposal, and no personal attacks would be allowed in any thread.
Can I suggest we change the name of the Debates forum to The Slanging Match forum as; thanks to a select few, nearly every debate gets abusive and personal.
It is sad that people cannot have a polite debate and respect others' opinions without getting aggressive and rude.
