Policy Changes: How do you feel?
lash:
We all knew who the jerks were.
If we didn't want to deal with them...we just avoided them.
It's like life.
Now, everything is so sterilized.
I don't need to be protected.
El Diablo:
Some people do.
Warden John Marcone:
In regards to TT being shut down, I can understand why. I didn't approve, but I understood. Things would get heated and spill over into the main bar, and that wasn't acceptable. And the Bob Rule was too little too late. But from what I've heard of some of the arguments from teh book and spoiler sections, TT was mild in comparaison. That's why I like the changes. It's not just TT, it's EVERYBODY that being subjected to the new regime. Maybe, after things have settled down a bit (I'm dreaming I know, but a guy can hope), TT will be sanitized, remodeled and reopened with stricter rules and a kid-friendly atmosphere.
Like I said, I'm dreaming, but MAYBE it's a remote possibility.

Ouch. ED ol debate partner mine..just ouch.
the problem seems to me is that some people took these debates personally; and second, we have no real way of knowing how old or mature any individual poster is. So lets say we have a thread that gets into emotional terrioty, such as a thread on what the white god is or is not responsible for, and in walks some kid, maybe 12-13, who is looking to find out who will get the thrid sword because they are a big fan, and WHAMMO face full of over wrought emotional angst and junk.
What im trying to say is we have to keep it pg13 or so because we have those members, quite a few of them.
Paynesgrey:
And there's manners. Or lack thereof. Go into most bars or cafes, and they'll have standards of behaviour. Go to different people's homes, and the host there will generally have certain expectations of how his guests should conduct themselves. In a frathouse or some dive bar, it might be considered normal to walk up to some people sitting at table and drop trou, then fart in their faces. Most bars, it's not acceptable. In Jim's House, it's not acceptable. You can't "Just avoid" the jerks in a forum like this, they come to you, and why should the guests who do behave in a civil and pleasant manner be forced to put up with those who simply refuse to?
