I don't participate in the immigration threads but I do prefer this solution to out right banning. To bad it wasn't tried with the McClintock/Arnold threads.

[stylin_geek]

Abuser: WHAT DO YOU WANT?
Man: Well, I was told outside that...
Abuser: Don't give me that, you snotty-faced heap of parrot droppings!
Man: What?
Abuser: Shut your festering gob, you tit! Your type really makes me puke, you vacuous, coffee-nosed, maloderous, pervert!!!
Man: Look, I CAME HERE FOR AN ARGUMENT, I'm not going to just stand...!!
Abuser: OH, oh I'm sorry, but this is abuse.
Man: Oh, I see, well, that explains it.
Abuser: Ah yes, you want room 12A, Just along the corridor.
Man: Oh, Thank you very much. Sorry.
Abuser: Not at all.
Man: Thank You.
(Under his breath) Stupid git!!

Civility BTT.

I don't practice it myself, but if others want to...

[GeronL]

It would be more simple to just ban people who don't agree with me... =o)

[stylin_geek]

Thanks, this is actually a good idea, I'm merely being, well, me.

[nicmarlo]

FYI Ping.

[PRND21]

Excellent idea. I'll do my best to comply.

[Mike Darancette]

Immigration threads seem long on speculation/hate/worry and short on facts/ideas. I'm waiting to see what ideas are actually offered up by the government.

[Torie]

It seems that you have volunteered for lancing the boil and containing the spleen as to something akin to the Israel-Arab conflict. A large task, although granted, unlike that conflict in the real world, you have the zot. If it seems intractable, just make it go away. It sounds almost like a Stephen King novel. Good luck.

Bloody Well Took Long Enough!

Is there any way we can extend this to the Leo-antiLeo and WOD threads as well? Those tend to generate enough heat to create plasma states.

[DeaconBenjamin]

If this works, can we use it on the contrarian/precious metals financial threads as well. They could really use a good hosing down.

[RLK]

Many times these threads turn into flame wars. There appears to be a lot of pent up hostility that various factions have developed for each other which ends up coming out, over and over

------------------------

You can expect this to continue unless you want to close down this site. There are several hot issues here which evoke emotion. There are personalities who hate each other. There are various jealousies and pettinesses. There are occasional psychiatric problems.

[BeerSwillr]

I suppose this will work.

So does suspending posting privileges.

[Beck_isright]

Thank you. Since my state has felt a direct impact (Florida) I appreciate your response.

[AM2000]

Man, that sounds like a lot of work (on your part). Good luck!

[fso301]

cool

[nuconvert]

How about something like this for the Islamic threads?

There's an awful lot of bigotry that doesn't occur on threads about other religions.
