Seems pretty reasonable to me.I believe once the conversation in the thread turns off point or a poster comes along and instead of challenging thru debate, decides rather to tear the other poster apart with derogatory terms or calls the other poster stupid or any array of same meaning words, that's when the threads take a sour turn.
If that were curtailed better IMO this place would be a little stronger for it. That said, it's up to the folks who frequent this place to uphold the 1 basic rule, be excellent to each other.
And the reality is when push comes to shove this place shines like no other. Some amazing things happen around here, we have raised money for great causes, the t-shirt exchange shows people care around here.
Folks just get upset and heated and sometimes you just need to get some fresh air.
Why this so hard for people to understand and adhere to or else suffer the consequences of not following the rules as stated?
It's his board, his ball, his rules and they've been the same since the Yellow Board days. If you don't like them, either leave (it's the internet. There's an unlimited number of boards out there with an unlimited number of rule variations (or lack there of). Likely some with posters that would revel in f-bombs, name calling and naked picture posting. Or change your outlook-on-life dial to "Get a grip" and just be freaking Quasi-Excellent. If someone's being an ###, don't use the "Ignore" button, just be smart, don't look for a fight and skip their inane/derogatory/insulting/fishing for a fight comments. If you're going to get into a I*fight with a troll, you're as bad as he is, just better at understanding the rules.
