Flame wars in the Soap Box

[donkey]

Well, after a discussion with Hutch in which I volunteered to moderate the Soap Box once again (I moderated it when the board was created years ago) I am now going to be watching this forum for flame wars and posts which violate the stated purpose of the sub forum. It seems that lately there has been all too much politics and personal attacks in the Soap Box and many flame wars have developed because of it. So the policy is now zero tolerance on political threads or personal attacks here, they will either be moved to the Colosseum where they belong or deleted outright. This forum is not the proper place for those types of threads and the new edit policy will border on draconian.

Comments are welcome

Damn,

Does that mean I can't say that Slobodan Bin Gadaffi has intimate relations with his camel any longer ?

The new rules work for me buddy. I tend to favor the "The Orphanage" for my bullshit so if Steve doesn't mind I'll just keep on dumping it there. :bg

Edgar,
As always,...you are just TOO reasonable.
When we're not programming,...our true natures emerge. And, it's ugly.
There,...I just flamed everyone (including myself).
Yes, we desperately need guidance.

Actually there is a recreational alternative to Flame wars in the soap box, Soap wars in the flame box (AKA The Colosseum) to the sound track of "I'm forever blowing bubbles".  :P

Soap wars in the flame box

You guys have to stop fighting(flaming) in the War room(general idea of a line from Dr. Strangelove)

Really, what we need is a new forum: COMPLETE BULLSHIT   
...it'll be like Rehab,...except, we'd all be incredibly annoying,...
...In fact, I could be moderator,...and if you weren't all wrong all of the time,...I'd ban you,...
...hell, I'd have to ban ME,...occasionally, I come up with something that seems plausible,...

Hutch has a new thing where he can ban members - they cannot post in the forum
but, in their browser, it appears as though they have

has anyone seen baltoro lately ?
he hasn't posted for quite a while   :red
