Sorry, I'll try to not incite flame wars. In my defense, anything related to these kinds of issues is highly likely to rouse emotions. The only way these topics can even brought up without a flame war is if every one agrees, and no one expresses a dissenting viewpoint. Just Food for Thought.
But yes I could certainly have been less provocative.
- dang 6y ago> anything related to these kinds of issues is highly likely to rouse emotions. You can say that again! And yet the seemingly innocuous mandate of this site—gratification of intellectual curiosity—actually requires us all to work hard at not succumbing to that dynamic. If you think about it (well, when I think about it), two odd things follow from that: (1) this is a rather larger project than it seems; (2) it's actually doable.
- CryptoPunk 6y agoYes it is doable. I made a mistake in how I dealt with inflammatory comments, in responding in kind instead of reporting it. I wrongly assumed moderation was more lax, and the forum was more of a free-for-all, than they are.
