Keeping R&S Civil

[AB Editor]

Afternoon.

We've noticed it's got a bit "rough" in here recently.

We'd like this section to be accessible to all without fear of being "ambushed" by members who simply disagree with them.

Please remember calling someone an idiot (or similar) is very unlikely to aid the changing of their perspective.

We're not asking you to change what you say - we're asking you to change the way you say it.

In other news: we now have a small "welcome box" between the "enter a question" box and the questions below. Suggestions welcome for things we could pop in there.

All the best,

Ed

Good luck with that..................

[AB Editor]

:) thanks Craft.

Anyway, we're going to be keeping an eye on the category and trimming when it all gets a bit much.

Please use the report button if you spot any abuse.

Put bouncers on the door?

[craft1948]

Don't look at me....................I daren't go in there. It's like being thrown to the lions.

Any particular 'Bouncer' in mind, B00?

[ummmm]

I find it very interesting.

[B00]

No, thought volunteers SirP- fancy the first shift?

[anneasquith]

maybe the mods could look in occassionally :) :)

[AB Editor]

"I find it very interesting."

Me too, like a bar fight is!

Trying to take this to "civilized disagreement" from the current "running each other through with pool cues" level....

"Don't look at me....................I daren't go in there. It's like being thrown to the lions."

Exactly why we're trying to soften it up a bit.

[craft1948]

Maybe the mods already do.................

[ummmm]

I didn't mean the abuse. I meant I find the discussions interesting.

[AB Editor]

"maybe the mods could look in occassionally"

The editorial team will be popping their heads in specially.

[AB Editor]

"I didn't mean the abuse. I meant I find the discussions interesting."

I know (and a lot of the time it is genuinely interesting).

well then they would have taken action against a certain Latin and History teacher.....

[sir.prize]

Don't you love farce?
My fault I fear.
I thought that you'd want what I want.
Sorry, my dear.
But where are the Klowns?
Quick, send in the Klowns.
Don't bother, they're here.

[craft1948]

And have you reported this person DT?

[DTCwordfan]

Not my place to do so, that was for the folk on the night or any Mod looking in.

I've sometimes wondered how the 'high ground' in R&S has come to be occupied by non believers. Apart from being a Godless lot, they are, for the most part, an intelligent group who would have been great assets to their respective churches if their lives had taken a different course.

[Kiki-frog]

I've wondered that myself, Sandy. Perhaps it should have been renamed 'Place to beat up Christians, Muslims or any other faith group who is reckless enough to wander in'.
