What's the difference between a flamewar topic or a controversial topic? This seems like a conversation killing policy to me, at least assuming you're exercising it as intended.
- icebraining 12y agoKilling a conversation unless you have something genuinely new to say about them sounds like a good policy to me.
- orblivion 12y agoWhat are the chances people heard it the first time? What are the chances somebody posting knows it's been posted before? To me this smacks of "yeah we've heard your stupid opinion before, it's been debunked, move on." And by the way, the OP posted a flamewar topic. The concern here is with a flamewar opinion. Holding the opposite opinion on the same topic, I think, would get a pass. "I think it's great that they're getting up there, helping take on sexism in the industry." (And that's not to say I disagree with that opinion, I'm somewhere in the middle myself, for whatever it's worth. I'm just in favor of discourse.)
