I was thinking (and it hurts), With the level of intellect we have in this forum....you would think we could be somewhat self- moderating. I personally, would appreciate a friendly reminder from any of you, should I be close to crossing a line. I honestly feel most members who frequent this forum are more than capable of noticing the difference between debate, and argument. As we all pretty much participate in most threads....it would seem a natural flow to simply add the occasional "time out tecoyah", or some other nice reminder of an approach to the nasty line.
Each of us should be able to take the hint, and mellow for a few minutes, maybe post a statement such as:
*Gets beer to adjust attitude*
or some other extremely humorous jest. Just another Idea. And I know it has worked for myself on more than one occasion.
