While I totally agree with this, at one point, all the threads were getting hijacked, that is what the issue was. I should have probably been a little more patient and trust the mods here to take care of business like they did (and always do).you don't like the thread, don't read it
I wasn't born with any.There is an end to someone's patience. I used up all mine.
What can I say, I am new here (compared to basically everyone else) and there are many MANY threads that I haven't read and so I check em out. And I'm not quite and adult yet so I just HAD to check out what this "Adult Debate" was all aboutAt last. We have been able to bring another thread back to life. Thank you Leonidas. Thank God it isn't the Color For a Model thread this time.
One thing I work at, irl as well as online, is the ability to disagree without being disagreeable.
Being new here, I've got a hell of a lot of respect for the knowledge here, and so even if I do occasionally disagree, I bear in mind my own relative ignorance and focus on facts. Learning them and, on occasion, dispensing them. This makes avoid personal statements pretty easy. I think one guy has put me on ignore, but generally I strive to remember that I'm here to learn and make what modest contribution I may.
I've seen some knock-down drag-outs on some of the longer threads here, and they really bog down discussion.

The knock down drag out arguements end up thread locked. That kills the arguement as a rule. Some who chose to take their hostile temperaments to other threads have been banned. One thing I have always believed is that no forum is for easily offended weaklings. The moderators here do a fantastic and thankless job which I for one appreciate. We do get a lot of leeway here as long as we don't too vulgar, personal, or viscous toward each other.Personal arguments are going to happen, and usually we all kiss and make up. Hell, I lose my call from time to time too. Now that I am older and more mature I have tamed it a lot. When I first joined this forum back in 2004, I was hot head too, though. This place was like the wild west. It was crazy. lol
It's just that there are a certain people that are just plain incapable of having civil conversations. These people just don't belong here.
I've been here since 2011 and I still haven't read all of the posts on the site. Another year and you'll be classified as an adult. Enjoy your youth while you have it. I was at the first Miss Universe Pageant. There was only one contestant and her name was Eve. You can easily guess that she won. Some of us here even rode Stegosauri to school. I miss racing my Velociraptor and eating Triceratops Burgers.What can I say, I am new here (compared to basically everyone else) and there are many MANY threads that I haven't read and so I check em out.

I'm 71 and feel more like 1000,000,71. I have an 18 year old brain in an old body.That means you are so young that you missed out on the big amoeba eating the small amoeba stage. That was no fun at all.
Mind you, as a forum member, I am just a young pup.
OK, the amoeba reference would have made me shoot coffee out of my nose this morning if I had been drinking it when I read your post.That means you are so young that you missed out on the big amoeba eating the small amoeba stage. That was no fun at all.

You're the reverse of my daughter, she's 18 but has the "Old Soul" inhabiting her brain, scary.I'm 71 and feel more like 1000,000,71. I have an 18 year old brain in an old body.
Ah my friend, we miss the wisdom of your tempered well thought posts, there's many a thread that would have benefited your insight, Godspeed old chap, has it really been two years since you flew west?The war ended more than 70 years ago. people are entitled to their opinions and it wont make a bit of difference to what happened back then.
The only real area I get annoyed is when people disrespect people who have died or suffered as a result to the war , still live with those losses but others think it okay to disrespect that loss. I'm guilty of that myself. Best not to say anything in those situations. .
