:groans: I can't escape it anywhere, they are everywhere I look!  okes all the DR players now on board:
To be on Topic...
To flame or not to flame, that is the question.
Typically I think the difference between a debate and a flame session has more to do with the posters themselves. A true, lively, interesting debate can be derailed by one person coming into it and throwing that first flame. Then, the other posters often respond in kind (even if previous to that they were eloquent and debating points intelligently)... That is where the Debate quickly falls down into the flaming abyss of hell. I'd love to see, just once, everyone in a good debate totally ignore the flamer that just came into it. Flamer doesn't get the desired results which is to derail the discussion, and the interesting debate continues with intelligent reparte. :nods wishfully: |
