the only lucid, well thought out, intelligent post meths has ever made has been lost in all the nastiness

You're out of line. You'll get this thread locked.
Seems Scotsboyuk was right after all. It's very sad.

This is actually a very simple issue if we look at it rationally for a moment.
Political/religious threads should be able to exist here at Esato, in moderation of course (pardon the pun). Suchthreads should be civil and rational with all participants respecting one another. Unfortunately this seldom happens and they usually descend into pettiness and flaming.
Why should such threads, which consistently produce these reults, be allowed t continue in that vein? As I said I do favour banning them completely, but I accept that that is neither a popular nor likely option. Therefore I am perfectly happy to go along with the idea of letting them continue, but I do think we need tougher rule son them.
First and foremost political/religious comments should be banned from any thread, which does not specifically deal with them. Secondly those threads, which do should be under strict supervision so that at the first hint of flaming or anger the thread is locked. Harsh, but effective. If people cannot conduct themselve sin a civil manner then they should not be allowed to debate such topics. Those who wish to discuss such issues will just have to learn to be more civil towards one another and think before they type.

more civil...thats the major one, and you cant moderate that! If peope want to fight, they are going to. the main offenders 9its always the same half dozen, from what i can see, anyway) need to grow up, let others have their say, and respond in a mature, reasonable way.
IMHO (In Meths' Humble Opinion)

it is obvious that these threads are not going to work
i myself and most other people on esato respect peoples opinions even if i/we do not agree with them
but unfortunately there are a small minority of people who are unable to to do this and as a result threads get locked
it is a sad situation which i doubt will change anytime soon

How am I out of line? I know I am very... loud, and very honest. But yes, i am honest, i dont beat about the bush.
The message is clear. If you think a poltical or religious thread is getting out of hand contact a moderator. Do not fire it up, post in it, call members rude names because of their views etc.

@meths & miss c
I wholeheartedly agree with both of you. It seems to me that confrontation and bitterness keeps arising in these threads. I think it is entirely reasonable to do what I suggested in my last post in this thread.

Well get more moderators then.
@axxxr
why did i call you an idiot? look back at your first post in this thread.
I don't think you should stoop down to petty name calling...but that might just be your level.

If either of you have a problem with one another please conduct it via pm thank you. This is really just going towards proving my point really, and I think I can do that quite adequately myself thank you very much.
