cha know, i've seen others mention the word "debate" in regards to p&r and i have to say when i mod'd p&r i never looked at it as a stomping ground for debating...to me, p&r is a place to discuss sensitive subjects that the rest of the website doesnt want to be bothered with. i never tolerated bait nor would i let someone even think they could come close to flaming others...the minute i saw people edge up to that line i would issue a public warning (and in some cases a private one).

and i never tolerated combative debating.

I completely agree and feel you on that one.

sosgemini said:

Then you would be a welcome addition back there SOS - in mosts opinion

at the top of the P&R forum page it states this ...

"Forums > Politics & Religion

Flex your debating skills on more serious topics such as..."

Mach said:

yeah, that was added by ben when the forum was created but i never adhered to it...folks don't use online websites to debate, they use them as soapboxes...conducting yourself with a respectful tone is a requirement or all hell breaks loose.

sosgemini said:

Looks like the dam is leaking and the flood gates are breaking

all hell is about to be loose

There is an over all problem and it ian't just in P&R.
People are throwing out rumors as facts and personally attacking people in public on the boards when there is no basis for the attacks.

If you have a problem with someone ask them about it. Don't spread rumors and lies. Some things would be explained if you just ask.
There are several wonderful Orgers that are not here any more because people were total jerks to them.

oh, so you can bait mutha, as long as no one else does? please.

evenstar said:

So YOU called ME a "racist" out of nowhere and you wanna go there? Seriously? WOW.

MuthaFunka said:

you three leave the attitude in PnR!!!!

this is a calm place where we only love each other

MuthaFunka said:

where'd i do that? and yeah, you baited in rhonda's thread and you know it.

ehuffnsd said:

Wrong, what you SHOULD have said was "evenstar, why even bring that mess in here?".

So, why didn't you?

MuthaFunka said:

cause we all play a part in it. this is what i was talking about ignoring the situation. it's a message board on prince site for crying out loud. world problems and personal issues aren't going to be worked out here. niether is beating each other over the head until one side gives up.

when we put out negativity we get that back. if i see any more baiting or trolling or attacking on this thread i'll ask the mods to lock it.

And who did I bait in Rhonda's post? Give me the name(s). Didn't think so.

ehuffnsd said:

Then that's exactly why you should have admonished the instigator first and foremost. That's the problem. No one wants to dea with the provoker and that's where you'll nip all of this in the bud.

...i wasn't calling you a racist there. see how my comment goes 'you calling yourself one'? you said Tiger's considered black because of racism. and again, how does this have anything to do with what i originally said? i'm

you baited all the non-american orgers you've bitched with in the past. all of us know who they are. don't play innocent, i'm just saying it goes both ways, and hey, you're the one talking about 'eliminating baiters'.

ehuffnsd said:

sorry ehuff, i'll try to discuss this another way then.
