Crisis in the Ukraine

Sloganeering. Do better.

 

Seeing as we are not participating in a world war, I would not expect our spending to be at world war levels.

 

Yet, is the operative adverb.

 

Fart Boy, try not to get this thread locked, capisce?

Try hard.

 

I did nothing to get the other one locked.
We were having a reasonable discussion about an important piece of intellectual history.
Overzealous moderation.

 

Maybe instead of locking threads, the offending trollers should be banned.

 

Maybe you should mind your own business, chief.
You foment plenty of trouble around here.

 

Ooohhhh, sounds like that one hit pretty close to the bone, eh??

 

Nah, I don't take a lick of this personally.
I'd buy any of my aggressors dinner and drinks.
I just think it's funny a Tough Guy would tattle to a moderating team.
Fight me here or on PMs, just stop whining about it for God's sake.

I've always thought that an open forum should be an open forum.
What kind of journalist would lock down an open forum? It's cowardly.

Open forums usually police themselves, one way or another.
The Politics thread sure did. Go elsewhere if you can't handle a brawl.

 

My thoughts, too. It's a good idea.
Not banned permanently. But suspended for a week.

Keep the threads going.
Ban the bad guys, but only for a week.
Repeat as necessary. See who adapts ... and who doesn't.
