I agree we should all try to get along but it is a public forum if some does not like a thread don't read it go to the next one. There are a few post that I do not like all you have to do is click by it :tort: nice video by the way :cool:

My thoughts.....if you don't like it, don't read it, don't participate in the thread. This is an open forum with a debate section. As long as everyone is civil to each other and respects each other opinion, even thought they disagree, it should be OK. Unfortunately there are younger members so maybe there should be an adult section that's closed to younger members for the rowdier bunch.....or maybe a "peanut gallery"?? :rolleyes:

Ooh TerryO, that's a good idea. A TFO mosh pit. Adults only, anything goes, insults, profanity and character assassination are welcomed and encouraged... It could be like that restaurant in Vegas where they insult, make fun of and belittle every one who walks through the door. Its intentionally over the top. The waiters are all surly and sarcastic. I'm told its very entertaining. Everyone has to wear a dunce cap with something horrible and insulting written on it.

Well okay... maybe on a different forum...

Instead of adult we could call it the "blue" section.

I'm not getting this adult section thing you couldn't keep younger members from viewing it so what would be the since of have a different section for adults ?

The "adult" forum can be hidden from non-members.-- This way people who are not registered yet (people under 18 yrs old), will not lie about their age to see the "adult" section (as they won't know about it).

If the admins change it so that it is a requirement to state your age when you register, they will see who can have access to the "adult" forum, and who is still too young.

I didn't think we had too many minors on this forum though?

I thought your utube was very cute. I have been gone all day so I am not sure if I missed something. I personally don't think we really need an adult section. I know there are young members, but I haven't read any foul language , sex talk or porn. Well maybe a little tortoise porn, but I don't think that is what is concerning to most.
As far as the arguing goes, it happends. Maybe it shouldn't, but this is nothing compared to youth baseball. Kids learn that sometimes adults behave badley, we as parents need to teach our children it is wrong. Maybe if everyone acted like there were young people around ALL the time they would think before they speak. Now I am not talking just about the forum, but in general.
Marty does have a point about peace. Everything should be said as kindley as possibly.

On the "adults" only area, my concerns are first off what are we going to do, ask each of you to send us your birth certificate? There is just no way of knowing who is telling the truth when they give their age.

Second, I dislike having a section not all members can see. Seems to be a bit like saying this set of people are "better" so we will let them view this area.

Maturity. If the people can't be mature enough for everybody to read what they write in here, I think they need to change their own behavior, not the forum changing to allow them to stay that way. Plus I think we all noticed how the emotions from the fighting were felt even in threads that had nothing to do with the debate/fighting. Do you really think what goes on in the hidden forum, would stay there? I don't. Heck look at what just happened in here, the fight started in a debate thread and ended up with threads spreading the fight into atleast two completely different sections (and other debate area threads).
