I think the issue is that many of these discussions take negative turns that might actually discourage the outsiders looking in from getting involved with our small community.

Topics such as "toy vs game" are sure to ignite another round of baseless debate which is exactly what happened.

One look at that "toy vs game" post and you can see why it was shut down. Many of the writers on this board take very combatitive positions on certain issues. Or perhaps certain individuals are just fun to kick in the krotch...easy targets you know?

Either way, it has to stop on ALL sides...in my opinion.

I can sympathize with WEIRDWOLF as being a board moderator is not fun when you are baby-sitting the members. Cut him some slack. He is not a referree.

Someone has to enforce the rules or these arguments will continue to get uglier.

If board memebers 1,2,3, and 4 have a problem with each other then let them talk it out offline. It is killing the vibe and I personally don't want to read it anymore.
