A short pregnant dog

[twig]

You may have noticed that a lot of bitching has occurred on a certain prominent Hand Strength forum.
I have tried to avert arguement by advising certain members to take their personal stuff to PM, lest an otherwise valid thread be locked.

My posts have been edited/deleted, and I have been warned to stop trying to calm things down or face a, possibly permenent, holiday.

How does that work? You argue; you lose, you don't argue, and try and calm things down; you lose. The only way to win is to have nothing to say...which kinda kills the point of having a discussion, doesn't it? Or am I missing something?

Yes. Profanity's and personal attacks are not allowed. That will be what lead to post deletions and the like. It's one thing to take a bigger view - ie: the sport in general and so on - and another to mention athletes by name as being wrong for how they shut grippers. I saw the deleted posts and the last few were pretty much 'you're wrong and you have nothing to say to me' but not so nicely worded.
