That being said, dulling this place down would be like putting a gun to our heads... suiciiiiiide. We need the loose lingo, the slingin' slander. It's what makes (or made, in the eyes of some) this forum interesting and unique.

Now, I'm not saying we should be able to badmouth everyone and anyone we choose. Calling folks "cunts" and "asswads" and "trannies" when there's really no point is just dumb, and it should be taken to a group of 13 year old boys if a laugh is what you're looking for. I say we go by the honor system; if you hate somebody and want to give em' the old verbal haymaker, do it in a PM or through some other form of communication. Example: Hellboy/Trippin and myself absolutely despised each other for our own personal reasons, but we made it a point very early (through PM's) to keep it out of the forum for everyone else's sake. I still hated him, but I had a lot of respect for the guy that he didn't want our fued to disrupt the forum.

So there's my advice. We all know there's rivalries here, we all know there's tension between members and groups. But banning won't do much of anything; we need to grow up and keep the trouble out of the spotlight.
Are you a tranny, you asswad?

Sorry, i cant resist.
