The fact is, nobody is polite all of the time. There will always be differences, otherwise we'd all be clones of one another.

Seeing as how you guys are in the process of eliminating most discussions outside of BT, that will eliminate many of the differences, so nothing more needs to be said along those lines.

We all love BT, but it's natural we'll have opposite opinions about some things such as game content, references, mobile playmakers, etc. And for the most part, those discussions are civil. Are there times where it gets a little rough? Sure. But we're all adults here, we can all take a bloody nose once in a while. People don't need to PM you or Dante every time somebody says something negative towards somebody.

As long as we all aren't overly aggressive or overly sensitive, I see no reason why we can't discuss BT trivia. But it's your operation, in the end you can do what you wish for any reason, and I think we all understand that.

I personally have tried to be nicer here than on BT's site. I know I can make snide remarks and say things that people don't agree with. That is who I am, but there is never confusion on where I stand on anything. Some may not like my stance, but it is clear. Like they said in the movie, Sleepers, "No politics or religion." I stayed away from those discussions for a reason, they cause nothing but problems. Many of the things that have been said around here in the political forums, in particular, those folks wouldn't have the balls to say to anyone in person. I am here to discuss and read about BT trivia, or trivia in general. I should be the last person to comment about etiquette, so I won't, but on the other hand some were just being nasty. Again, they wouldn't say that kind of crap in person.

There are a few people around here I wouldn't piss on if they were on fire (I'm sure the feeling is mutual), and that is just the way it is. Anybody can rub someone else the wrong way, just the way it goes sometimes.

Whatever you guys decide, it is all up to you. I would like a return to actually discussing trivia stuff.

Is it just the nature of forums, a cross section of humanity ?

Thanks

Humanity as a whole has always sought fresh and inventive ways to anger itself.

You have been "nicer" for sure, and I personally appreciate it. I agree with your sentiments, as well.

He has turned into a Facebooking, baby kissing, wimp. I'm expecting a Tweet from him any day telling me about a "wonderful" sale on Hallmark keepsakes.

Given the level of discussion in some threads, I'd say that already exists: They're called DailyKos and FreeRepublic.

p.p.s. I'm done with posting controversial stuff on the "ScaRatings". If by accident I ever violate this, give me one warning, and if I do it again kick me out. I would consider that fair.

You, along with a few other people, already got your official warning, so I'll just give dee boot!
