Call it what it is. Is it time for one, with an administrator that can include/exclude people? I don't even know how that would work, but this forum has been poisoned.
The good thing about his forum is that it is public, people want to debate in public and the popular topics will always dominate the thread count. However there is of course the opportunity for members to start new threads on specific topics they are interested in, and by and large the protocol of not hijacking threads is respected. If some does do that then they should be given a forum ban.

Where religion is discussed it’s difficult to not run into people's passions for
and against since more time than not if you are either for or against some
faith people tend to define themselves on how they stand on those issues.
Even if you are just uncaring and not committal we have words for them
too. Some are even passionate on how they are not religious, even to the
point of being a zealot on the matter.
I wish I could say I've never lost my temper or gotten angry over things

Originally posted by JS357OK I'm better now. Sorry about that. Tolerance of an occasional insulting, dismissive, supercilious raft of replies is a test of character, up to a point, and I can take it better when directed at me than when I see an attack on others who are engaged in sincere well-meaning debate about something they regard as important. This triggered my reaction. If there were way to block a particular individual's replies from showing up on my screen, I would do it.
