What is inflammatory to you may not be inflammatory to someone else.
And lukster, while I have been using 'you' in my posts here, I was not aiming at you, per se.
Controversial topics should be ok to discuss. And they can be if those who cannot participate in the actual discussion would simply stay out of them. Participation, in this context, meaning adding something constructive or positive to the thread.
Also note, the best way to kill a troll is to ignore it. If no one wants to talk about a given topic and no one responds to it, then the troll goes away looking for another board to try and reaise the vile levels.
Not saying Chairboy was trolling, or anyone for that matter, simply using this time to point out how to kill a troll. This is where most of the local posters have a problem. They simply cannot resist jumping feet first into a controversial subject and make some rash comment.
I'd give anything if people would just stop doing that. This board and forum would be a very cool place if it could happen.
