Flame room?
We had talked a lot about this before--I believe chanilover referred to this as the "cunt corner"
We could have a forum where if it gets to heated, the debate is moved by one of the admins/mods to the "flame room" (or whatever you want to call it) and they can duke it out. Any thoughts? Too risky?

Why wait? It could also be a fun place where you can just randomly insult people. For instance, I might start a thread titled "Only communist hippies have Journey avatars", to poke fun at the knife man up there.
What we wish, we readily believe, and what we ourselves think, we imagine others think also.

I just feel it would legitimize fighting and I don't want to encourage that.Pardot Kynes wrote:Why wait? It could also be a fun place where you can just randomly insult people.

I'd say bring it!Pardot Kynes wrote:Why wait? It could also be a fun place where you can just randomly insult people. For instance, I might start a thread titled "Only communist hippies have Journey avatars", to poke fun at the knife man up there.
But that is pretty much how I describe myself!
Now, if you had said, "republican evangelical", then we'd have a problem. Uh, no offense to "republican evangelicals".

Sounds like bad business, best we just check the "aggression" at the door.
I think Freak said it best over at DN:

Re: Flame room?
It's a good suggestion. People misunderstand the importance of an outlet. Yes it get's ugly, but that's not the point.

I just foresee things getting out of hand. Saying what you want to say about the books (positive or negative) without censer is good but letting people get into those annoying unproductive back and forths just seems like a slippery slop.
If you guys "must", then by all means. At least it will be limited to a thread and those of us who have no use for flame wars won't be bothered by the bickering. I trust our faithful moderators to keep it contained within the "flame room" so it's not a real big deal to me.

If we decide to go that route Simon, that's exactly what it would be. Only one specific area could you do this and it would be strictly prohibited from spilling out into the other forums.Simon wrote:I just foresee things getting out of hand.

My hero!
(Just kidding, Simon. If you'll recall, I ragged on your spelling in that very first email I sent you last summer. )
