Quote:Since it has been the tightest election ever, perhaps this calls for a "variation" on normal considerations here ?
When One party is named/sworn in as the duly elected govt shall we allow a 48 hr period of ........ looser moderating ?
ie, no holds barred ?
Why? There is already too much stupidity, duplicate topics (that add nothing new other than to waste time), and foul mouth temper tantrums as it is.
A lot of it needs to be reigned in more than anything. We are all adults and most of us are far from delicate little petals. Nor do I want a site full of precious sooks but the substanceless and prolonged vileness of some posters can be done without for a better more mature forum.
I'm here to discuss things in a genuine and meaningful manner. I expect that if I get in a ideological debate and the other person presents overtime a series of better and rational arguments then something of value has come out of it. I expect that I may well change my position or at the very least challenge my position.
I generally try, and consider myself quite successful in not having emotional attachments to information. My point is why hold onto a belief if I have come to the conclusion that it is a wrong belief. The illuminated change of a personal stance is not a retreat in my opinion.
Moderation will continue in it's unbiased manner that we are used to here at OzPol. And the ones that have been gaged or banned have bought it upon themselves as low brow internet thugs generally.
