Personal attacks or flaming because your ideas differ from someone elses just should not be allowed. I haven't posted in several weeks because of one such individual. If the forum is to really survive you need a difference in opinions. That's what causes everyone to consider more sides to every story and perhaps learn something.

So, when an individual goes off and attacks someone in a personal manor it does nothing to advance the thread or the discussion. It only serves to lower the overall intelligence of the group.

Police the threads a bit more and put a stop to people who do nothing but bash and attack people who have an oppinion that doesn't fit with what they think.

It might draw in more differing opinions, and keep those of us who are already here around a bit longer.
I do not completely agree. In fact I agree with you if one becomes boring about attacking one or more people but I don't see the point in stopping people from flaming each other on a subject. It doesn't hve to be rude but could bring to personnal attacks whatever they are including race, religion, beliefs. One should be clever enough to respond. Another should be clever enough not to insist and become annoying to everybody.

I remember I had crudely pointed out that damn Lictor about his stubborn socialist a la soviet style always starting a sentence with a "We in France we believe...".
