Thank-you to those calm heads who refuse to be easily offended and keep a meaningful dialogue in spite of those who impulsively reply upon their immediate sense of offense and start a flame war.
Thinking before you type and checking ones perceptions, giving the benefit of the doubt, engaging a healthy sense of objectivity and then entertaining the idea that one can really incorrectly sense tone and body language in text; is helpful and proper fire prevention behavior.
Geesh! A pile of crap is still crap no matter how much perfume one pours upon it. Perfume only masks the odor temporarily and every farmer knows that improper manure management poisons our water and air. Eventually a "civil" servant will put the pile in the proper place and it will become a nutrient resource and grow more useful items.
Well, there will always be drama kings/queens among us. Take them with a grain of salt and keep the hip-waders handy. NSFW is still a necessity. 202P may be a 25+ membership but plenty younger come calling and looking over the website.

Drama? In Off-Topic? Damn, I'm missing all the excitement.
Where is this drama that you're referencing? Link?

I think I was in the bacon off-topic...nude females with bacon laid over strategic spots...and KnightKnight attempted to return a lighter topic gone bad and to prevent flames. He was quite good at choosing to not return blatant insults 'tit for tat' shall I say. And then I listened to the latest Thick & Thin about nerd rage. Left my MO list there as a comment related to cause of raging between gamers. ....you'll see lol Thats what I get for going dark and gaming among other normal lifestyle behaviors during the holidays. sigh! Afraid I never learned to imbed a link...I know it is neanderthal of me...but I am software challenged......could use a good tutor. I have IT people in my family too....I jus din get that gene :)

OH! It was in the goodnight thread, (and now....Latest news Time for tea?) In the trending forum topics in the right sidebar under homepage news. I think you may have weighed in there somewhere earlier in January 2013 :)

That's an old thread that served it's purpose a long time ago. Now it's just to pad peoples posts. It stopped being relevant since August 2012.
So, where is the current drama?
