Do you have any idea how volatile the subject is on The Flood? Threads with this subject are great...up until one person says something that others don't agree with. There's debate in every thread subject, but there's no debate in this subject, only arguments. All it takes is one little "I don't agree" and the whole thread lights up in flames. Face it, The Flood has this "How dare you not share my opinion on this subject you bigot!" mentality when it comes to [i]exactly[/i] these threads, and I [i]hate[/i] how they think it's justified. It doesn't matter if your side is right or wrong, you aren't justified in any way to insult someone on here or think you are above some on here, and it pisses me off to no end seeing The Flood behave just like that and thinking it's acceptable. "But just leave The Flood, or ignore what you see if you don't like it!" No. I have no problem with the thread itself, but I'm not going to turn a blind eye to people acting likes asses knowing full well they're going to get away with it.

Well, I do hope that you also want to prevent discussion of BR spread, melee mechanics, AR starts, shotgun placement on Snowbound, rap music, the superbowl, and whether barbecue is better with honey glaze or BBQ sauce - because all these topics can become just as acrimonious. As for tasteless - the forums already operate an NSFW policy, why should there be any further rules? If people take if off the rails then we have ninjas to deal with it. So long as they stay within bounds, there is no reason why discussion should be further limited. [/quote]
