I've come to look at the "Free For All" forum as being the local sanitary landfill (aka - garbage dump). Quality topics can happen in the FFA, but as such, they probably didn't need to be in the FFA.
From my moderator perspective, the FFA is not so much a sanctuary from moderation, but rather a place the moderators don't find worthy of expending time and efforts.
But even in the FFA, there is the moderation tradition to try to at least keep the discussion somewhere in the vicinity of on-topic. I think that even that tradition has faded in recent times.
I now note that this topic wasn't directly started in the FFA - It was placed there by AdminPD. I probably would have placed it in the "Coffee House".
Bottom line - If you're really out to make yourself look stupid, the FFA is the place to do it. It is still my hope that people aren't at evcforum.net for the purpose of making themselves look stupid. Or something like that.
