I respect HTC's decision to eliminate politics, religion and race from their BBS. I'm sure it was taking up too much of their time policing these boards.
However, I always felt I learned something from those debates, even the heated ones. I don't think you ever really know your own position until you have to logically defend it and I think you always learn something from opposing viewpoints that are also logically defended.
Therefore, you're invited to visit
www.flamewarriors.net , a BBS that Nuke started. It is unmoderated, so wear your asbestos undies. There are about 120 members so far, most of them migrants from this board. The BBS uses the same software so it will be very famliar.
You will find the same mix of folks over there. There's some purty smart fellers, some average joes, some that are challenged in the logic area and one or two that post drivel and are there mainly to entertain themselves with flaming insults. All in all, it's very much like here except that there is no adult supervison; in fact there is no supervision at all.
I think there is benefit to HTC here or I wouldn't be posting this. Instead of trying to push the limits here, making more work for Pyro and Skuzzy and getting yourself into trouble.... just go someplace where political and religious discussions are common and accepted.
Flamewarriors is not all flame by the way. There are other forum topics like hobbies, pets, jobs, etc., etc.
Guests can view the forums at this time, so drop by and see what you think.
And give HTC a rest.
