| But, I’m wondering, if it’s not your policy to silence such bickering at its outset as you note here, maybe you really may want to consider a “Cat Fight” or a “Spats” forum. |
Rather than creating a specific forum where arguments can continue, and therefore giving such threads an implicit "okay", would it not be better to assume that adults can each state their case, agree to disagree, and let the matter drop?
Just my opinion. Jan. |

Ideally, we'd do exactly that Jan but that doesn't seem to work. Rather than a sub-forum, I figure we can use this appropriately named thread for any further spats.
If something is turning into a spat, someone (anyone) should direct those involved to this thread if they want to continue the board drama. |

| Alternatively, maybe we can think of a way to handle such altercations, as a forum, that will cut them short. Some sort of informal arbitration, perhaps? |
