I regret now ever posting
The only two people actively commenting have diametrically opposed ideas and will so overwhelmingly fill threadwith their opinions that there is no chance of slow rational discussion occurring in there again, and anything I try to interject at this point is gonna just add to the fire. That was not my intent when I posted the thread to start with though and it's now completely out of control and it's only been 16 hours. As a user that started the conversation I feel powerless as I can't manage the thread or even fully explain the reasons for the initial post because Brownout and Tcmtech are already on full blow bloody rampages.
The idea prefix is this. Wouldn't it make sense that the person that starts a thread be given some kind of limited moderating abilities in respect to that thread. Right after tcmtechs first post I knew the cat was out of the bag, because what he said had NOTHING whatsoever to do with my original post and did nothing but egg on fights based on old topics ground in to the dust that I personally don't want to resurrect. Brownout is misdirecting away from my initial question with so many external links that were unrelated to the article I'd posted that's it not even relevant to anything but his own preconceived opinions. I would personalyl like to ban those two users from posting on (but not viewing) the thread, to see if anyone else actually had something to say. Something along those lines at least.
I've lost control of my own conversation, do you know how frustrating that is? Especially considering it has nothing to do with what is being put up for discussion in the first place, seeing as how I'm the one that posted the initial question for debate why are two people that obviously hate each other and at least one of them hates me being allowed to tell me what I was trying to say?
