I feel it is hard to come up with new topics, there are so many on here already.
I dont see admin being unfair, although I haven't been here that long, maybe you could site a few examples.
Do you have any new, more relevant topics to discuss/debate?

Forum for ridicule and personal attack
Maybe we need a forum just to ridicule each other, I would enjoy reading the post there.
Anyone who insisted on hijacking a thread and using it only to ridicule someone could be exiled to that forum for a few days as a warning.
There might even be quite a few people who would use it without being asked to do so, if someone had a problem with xxxx then the could go there and start a topic on why xxxx is a moron.
Bad idea???...probably, but if people are going to be allowed to do it time and again then there should be a place to do it where it wont interfere with those who dont care for it and are tired of off topic post that contain nothing but insults.

Fearandloathing, this is a rare, but constructive, occasion, needing no special venue.
I wasn't being exactly serious, What I was trying to get across is that many times people will insult each other which never moves a discussion forward, only sideways. If it is going to be allowed to happen by the same people over and over then maybe they should have a special place to do it, instead of sidetracking a topic.
Coffee house and free for all should have a little more leeway but other forums should remain as respectful as possible, or else carry it to an appropriate place to toss insults, or just be told to stop or suspension will follow. JMO

Re: Dr. A Impersonators
How do you know who I was talking about?? Could've been a number of people.
Maybe I just wanted to see who would respond, maybe I was being trollish and speaking of myself.

Re: Ok, I'll give my opinion ...
On the downside, we'd no longer have our very own board feces-flinging troglodyte.
That is why we need a exile type forum, the entertainment value is worth it, think of it like a zoo, everyone likes to watch the chimps throw poo. The more I think about it the more it makes sense, why give him what he wants? I think he wants to see how far he can push, get suspended and be a martyr.
