I Propose A Ban On Any Gay Related Threads

Most of that thread was pretty interesting & civil. The problem was not the subject matter.

You're probably right though.

I'll buy your lunch on Second Street if it doesn't get deleted.

Well, I think it would be taking a step backward to ban certain threads. I've heard from a couple of other LPers of a troll or two who come here for nothing more than to cause trouble in WE, and therein the problem lies. Most people are good for civil discussions.

It is amazing to me that a post full of insults, wrong information, and hot air will remain while a post from someone defending themselves is deleted.

That's true too, I don't like biased admins or deletions.

Arguing, name calling, whining, and hurt feelings -- and that's just from the Admins!

Yes Jim, but apparently WE topics were littering the Community board before they created WE. At least this way all the name calling, whining, hurt feelings, and trolling is relegated to one board...but yeah, on the other hand it would be nice if *all* of LP were friendly and civil and intelligent.
