JohnI suspect that if fewer people (most of whom are adults, at least age wise) fueled the fire(s), there would be fewer (no?) issues. sure, you may not be able to resist the temptation of opening a thread (even if it's OT), but is it really necessary- and does it fuel the board's goals- to engage in 'yo mama' like attacks?
2 wrongs don’t make a right and I don’t think someone’s seniority on the board (what about lurkers who never registered for years but have read the board?), # of posts, content of posts, or # of friends on the board should earn them any special treatment. What I think mods may want to do is implement a system- e.g., 1st personal attack= 1 day time out, 2nd personal attack= 5-7 days; 3rd personal attack= ban. There have been far too many posts lately where it seems like the masses are ‘ganging up’ on individual posters. Is it really necessary, mature, or conducive to call someone an ‘idiot?’ do we really want posters here who spend the bulk of their time complaining about the board?
