i think they should not only do that, but make it a contest. who ever out-insults everyone else is declared 'winner' and receives a week's supply of prozak.

i would first attempt to identify just wtf it is before consuming it.

this isnt about neurotic members, its about the mods' decision on how to handle the situation. my opinion on the matter is thus irrelevant as is yours. as for why i'm here and why i posted this thread...i thought we could rationally discuss this and hopefully the mods would take notice. well...

just a general plea to all who are gracious enough to post hires images of your lovely blossoming daughters: learn to white balance your images. the images naturally come out warm and yellowish because of the grow lights they're under, but you can cool it down in photoshop to give...

you missed the point. your theory that 'ignore' is the solution can only be valid under the presumption that everyone will ignore the baiting. general baiting has been and always will be the bullet to the kneecap of overall rational discussion among peers on the internet. it is the very...

an argument based on pure fallacious presumption, attempting to pigeon-hole and discredit your opponent. how is this meaningful to anyone? "man up"? really?

ignore only works when 2 otherwise rational individuals have a mutual hair across their asses about eachother. it does not work in a generally hostile forum where personal attacks are commonplace and hurled at anyone who doesn't agree. when someone posts a comment like: "anyone who doesn't...

i find it especially sad that the only threads which have contained consistently civil discussions have been in threads identical to this, discussing the possible closure of the forum. kinda like an abusing husbands in the hospital waiting room with flowers and puppy-dog eyes and a woeful tale...

inconsequential. the new trend in modding protocol which started this week seems to be to shut down a thread the second someone hurls a personal attack. on those new ground rules, i can't see how any topics will remain open for long. thats pretty much the core of my point right there. unless...

derailed and closed more to the point: closed.

depends on the weed. not really on the quality but the type of high. visuals tend to keep me awake. *edit* not that its a bad thing. i rather like laying down in the dark and watching the fractal show :p

there's really nothing you can do. don't be one of those idiots that drinks like 4 gallons of water and ends up in the hospital with a fucked up kidney.

ignoring does not work when topics are being derailed and closed.

i don't know, i've gotten stoned with many types of people from different backgrounds and i must say 2 constants have always been: 1-we always discussed...everything. 2-it was always pleasant and civil, never leading to chest-beating and prick-waving. as far as all these 80's action...

depends on which gang you would want to be in. the first requirement is to unquestionably allow a single media conglomerate or tv/radio personality to dictate your opinion (or rather form an opinion for you.). thankfully whether you're liberal, neoconservative, or libertarian, or just plain...

then we agree on something. i think thats enough to celebrate with a bonghit (i need an excuse :p ) ...wow you really had to drive my point home didnt you? thanks....i guess

whether or not i frequent this section is inconsequential to what a laughing stock it is. its not a place to discuss but a place to 'win' by attempting to dissuade people from posting a different opinion. that is not a debate and also requires zero knowledge of the topic. in fact all one...

i actually think this section should be shut down to preserve the overall integrity of the forum. the politics forum is a sham, and actual civil debate is such a rarity here that it all just seems like some rancid dingleberry hanging off the ass-end of RIU. either way it doesnt matter though...

indeed....you could also just lock the whole politics forum. as far as i can see you only locked 1....why exactly i'm still trying to figure out. i still love you though.:hug:

thanks to the mods for offering the opportunity to rephrase the question. please keep it clean.
