I too feel that we don't need anything more off-topic than what we allready have in "The Meeting Spot"...
It is, as has been stated before, all too likely to spill over into other parts of the forum. Next thing you know and we have flamewars popping up all over the place resulting in bans. And all just because someone got a bit overexcited in the political/religious part of the forum.
I'm very active in politics in Norway, and know that what I described above happen even in regular political parties every once in a while, and when it does friendships are broken, people are hurt and everybody looses. I don't want to see that happen here.
DoM> Just Curious, what prompted this thread?
Was it just the lack of bad language?
I remember when I got here, I had a problem moderating my language to an acceptable level, since I tended to swear a lot, but after a while I found that it got more and more easy, until it became second nature.
And you know what? People are more willing to listen to someone who doesn't use an expletive as every other word...
And if you really want to show how agitated you are, you
can use
formatting to get your point across, and you might find it to be much more
effective...
(Note: I'm not trying to tell you what to do, only to show how I found the lack of swearing useful both on and off the board...)
