I already used it.........worked like a charm.
 
Hey Stav,

While we're at it, could you clarify what exactly would consitute flame-baiting in your view, in the Coffe House forum?

I used to be under the impression that only a personal attack against another wanderhomie would be considered baiting or flaming.

Now, some other wanderhomies are apparently saying that even posting an article (which is not for or against something) and leaving your personal opinion out of that OP (as in, the OP doesn't say she's for or against something that the article mentions) is somehow against the forum rules?

I mean, by that standard, someone could post an article about the homeless and then some wanderhomie will come along and say, "You're just posting this because you hate the homeless!! flame-baiter!!!".

It is a peronal attack when you have Wanderhomies members who are also members of the Armed Forces and you want to post articles (btw we do not need a daily news digest on everything that is happening in the world) that demean(sp?) them (i.e. Why can't we see the caskets of dead soldiers, look how many have died as a result of this war we need to stop, articles posted against the soldiers from left wing sites......ect ect).

You seem to be assuming people would react differently to the tragic deaths of U.S. soldiers based on whether they think the war is right or wrong.

OK, I'll make it real simple for you. For purposes of any discussions regarding the number of soldiers who have died in Iraq, I change my position. I am now 100% in favor of the war and 100% in favor of Bush.

Now, that means we're both on the same side, right?

That is the most assinine thing I have ever heard someone say. There are ways to make a post that doesn't inculde reveling in the deaths of soldiers.

What do you mean by "reveling in the deaths of soldiers"? The deaths of U.S. soldiers are tragic regardless of the circumstances. And unlike Vietnam, we now have a society where even people who disagree with the war still support our soldiers.

I think we could all agree on supporting our troops, whether one has positive, negative, or mixed feelings about the war. I mean, it's *war*, it shouldn't be surprising that all Americans don't think as a collective on something like that.

As a matter of fact, one might even make the argument that the article about the Iraq deaths actually *minimizes* the impact of the casualties:

The body count from World War II was far higher for Allied troops than for the crushed Axis. Americans lost more men in each of a succession of Pacific battles than the 2,390 people who died at Pearl Harbor in the attack that made the U.S. declare war on Japan. The U.S. lost 405,399 in the theaters of World War II.[/b]

At any rate, I have PM'd Stavrose to make certain he understands I'm certainly happy to have intelligent discussions on a variety of different subjects that affect America... and I make every effort to stick with the rules of the forum. So if I have misinterpreted the rules, then I will certainly change future posts to make sure they are within the guidelines.

Even as much as I've disagreed with you and Syn over certain issues, I'd certainly never want to "silence" you for your opinions. I'd just ask that you keep it flame-free.
 
What part of me saying that a thread would be a circular discussion again if it was a war thread is somehow putting YOU down or flaming you? I think you spend too much time reading the flame forums, not talking there and then taking it to the Coffee House and applying your FEELING there instead of where it belongs, the flame forum. Nothing I said in the Coffee House was flaming you or putting you down MA'AM and you know it. If you have an issue with me, take it to the flame forums and keep it there. A number of people think if you make a thread that is labeled "WAR" then say the thread is only to be discussed as a "rememberance" thread that you are flame baiting too, so I suggest that you CLARIFY your thread headings. If I am ONLY to talk about a thread as a rememberance please don't label it with something that says war on it. Thank you :)
 
personally, i think you're all overreacting and taking shit way too seriously. If i had it my way, i'd ban all 3 of you from CH so it could go back to normal without this drama. But seeing as that would be unfair, i haven't. Don't think I take sides. I know that there are people out to "get" others banned. I'm not an oblivious mod. I have more tools to my disposal than you think. But I haven't banned all three of you cause that would be wrong. It would make things go back to normal. but it would be wrong.




The above paragraph is an example of flame baiting. It's opinion, but it sure as hell is asking for flaming. You're grown ups. Use your brains.
