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.

Given the experience I witnessed on the crevo threads, I don't think it'll necessarily trend that way. In that case, the subject remains, but the loss of a few key players went a long way towards improving the civility of the effort. Fair warning for the immigration-thread participants, I guess - I can think of several crevo-thread unpersons, and I don't doubt for a second that it'll happen again. If the posters remain intractable, rather than the subject, that is...

"I'm wishing you into the cornfield!"
