There's been plenty of "healthy" debates. And threads that went on (and on and on) - a recent one dragged on past the 100 reply mark even.
But - if people can agree to disagree without getting personal, or flipping the 4-letter collection - it can carry on.
Typically any post that is HOT with lots of replies tends to be one that needs "watching"
As stated - what you users see is often not the whole story. And the mods do send PMs or submit public floggings sometimes.
There is a [url "http://www.bigfishtackle.com/forum/gforum.cgi?forum=324"]Rough and Rowdy[/url] site on the forum which is loosly moderated, if at all. I'm sure Curt can hook you up. Go gutpile all you want there.
And I disagree - anytime I see a DWR post getting ripped - I'll say something, or edit. We're lucky to have contributions from the pros, and ought to respect that.
I've also seen a lot (public and private) rips on mods.
Guess how much we get paid to be a mod? Nope - less than that. Anyone who chooses to attack a mod, will likely find an edit, and nasty gram, and maybe a ban.
I know I cross the border sometimes, and my sense of sensibility is a bit looser than some other mods. I guess I figure if the FTC and the Disney channel allow the phrase or word - we should too.
But that's not always the case, and "intent" has a large role.
Debate and argue all you want. There are trigger topics that will ALWAYS spark a disagreement. But don't get nasty, don't get personal, voice you opinion ALL you want, just don't expect to demand that everyone agree with it.
