I always figure if someone can't make their point without screaming, throwing a tantrum, threats, etc. then they really aren't worth listening to. Here at MR we seem to have a better class of people. Sometimes we disagree about things but generally things remain civil if nothing else, and if it does look like things are starting to get out of hand first one of the mods posts a warning and then (if necessary) the thread can even be closed. Hard to scream at others if the thread is sealed and really I've not noticed that having to happen a lot here. Usually just the mods posting a warning seems to be enough to remind us to play nice together.  |
I think I once saw "ok you two that is enough. No one wants to hear your argument. "
That stopped it.
