Hi Gang. I can't help but notice that in a lot of threads lately there are pages and pages of people having personal arguments, talking about other posters behind their backs, etc. Unfortunately, other people keep interrupting with posts that are back on topic
I thought that it might be good to have a place where people can "take it outside". One one one. Argue until you run out of breath, or cross a line and get smote by a moderator. (Or maybe this could be located in International Waters) No piling on by other people - if you're not in a match, you can't play. And once you bring it here, it doesn't spill back out into other threads.
The Armstrong thread actually did work in cleaning up a lot of other threads. I'm not sure how serious I am about this one, but a guy does have to wade through a lot of name calling and personal attacks to follow a conversation these days.
