The Argument Thread

Lot of different arguments going on at the moment, lot of problems. That's great and all, but threads are being hurt by these problems.

Basically this is the place where people can come and air disagrements in public - that's more entertaining then PM's right? So the next time you, and when I say you I obviously don't mean anyone in particular, say something stupid, or mean, whatever, in a thread, a person who has a problem with it can simply say the words Argument Thread, and by taking the argument out of the thread in question, stop turning interesting threads into Metaphorical dick measuring contests.

So yeah, if you are involved, or see, an argument derailing an interesting thread, please step in and send the kind gentlefolk here, and they can do it in the comfort of policy. WIth us all on the sidelines braying for blood.

Some small rules;
1)This thread is to resolve, not continue, arguments, so please think of it more like a gentle talk over a cup of coffee then a glassing in your local spit and sawdust bar.

2) What happens in the argument thread stays in the argument thread - so no quoting it elsewhere to have a go in another thread.

3) No shirts, no shoes.

Can this be moved to conversation as i don't see what it has to do with policy and help.

ok - so my speelling is atrocisous - but moving this to convo wouldn't give the thread the right kind of atmosphere.

why's it a bad idea flyboy? it'll allow people to air problems out of the thread they started, no?

Math this has nothing to do with Policy and is helping no-one. I'm not suggesting deleteing the thread- but move it to a more appropriate area of Barbelith- At the moment the stupid rows that are rotting up this forum are actually preventing/ slowing down help and moderation for the other 5000 users of Barbelith other than yourself.

Please show such respect to the other users of Barbelith.

Please show such respect to the other users of Barbelith.

I am showing respect to the other users of barbelith by allowing people who are in arguments to talk outside of threads. I'm not sure what you view this thread as, but realistically, I was hoping that it would just be - here's the thread, it's ignored until someone has a grievence with another. They could talk it out, no problems. I didn't really think it was that bad an idea, so I'm somewhat suprised by the attitudes that are being expressed.

So yeah, if this isn't a good idea, we'll ignore it and let it drop.

Angry Man: Shut your festering gob, you tit! Your type really makes me puke, you vacuous, coffee-nosed, maloderous, pervert!!!
Man: Look, I CAME HERE FOR AN ARGUMENT, I'm not going to just stand...!!
Angry Man: OH, oh I'm sorry, but this is abuse.
Man: Oh, I see, well, that explains it.
Angry Man: Ah yes, you want room 12A, Just along the corridor.
Man: Oh, Thank you very much. Sorry.
Angry Man: Not at all.
Man: Thank You.
