Great, does this mean I actually have to read ever word of all 100-odd posts of that thread to find out who's in the right?
Or is it fair to just say that all four of you are guilty to stooping to insults, seem incapable of deescalating an argument, and are too proud to just let it go? I really don't care that much if it's confined to one thread, but spinning this into something bigger and getting dramatic about it is never going to going anywhere constructive.
So what should I do? Close that thread? Close this thread? Temp ban all of you until you cool off? Genuinely curious.
i think a forum like this can afford to reprimand lousy toxic debate behaviors (i'm being hypothetical now) instead of mentioning of genitalia. i mean what's the point? getting warned for demanding a proper honest debate is even more bizarre.
moderators don't need to read everything. but if they don't know what's really _going on_ they shouldn't appease a report just because the targeted post has the word "dick" or isn't teletubby nice.
if anyone deserves a warning it's cog for making this thread and contaminating the forum with our quarrel. no one deserves a ban but redbaron touches on it imo. that quotemining is extreme. it's a cardiac hazard.
actually i just wanna make sure no one reads our discussion and gets persuaded by those antics of theirs. i get pissed off because i assume those guys enjoy tacit acclaim. probably it's just the way they write though.
anyway i'm done with this topic for now. clearly i'm taking all the piss for being up front. not worth it. thx obama.
