and there was I thinking this was an open letter to the BBC's Points of View.
They probably recieved a lot of postcards too.
now, I may be wrong (It has been known) but the Current Affairs Forum was created not all that long ago in an attempt to keep a lot of the (at the time) threads of that nature from appearing in the |Cafe| (I don't know how those<<< bars appeared, but I like them and they're staying!)
There had always been a number of thise contencious threads about, and very lively they could be too.
However, in the months preceding that forum segregation certain 'type' of "link n post" style had developed. This style, in my view, provoced reaction in the first instance as they seemed ill informed, and not the views of the poster. Merely something (intentional or otherwise) set to gain reaction. When reaction is given, some may feel they are under personal attack and then react in a defencive and atagonistic manner.
The spiral tightens.
I like the "IDEA" of the Current Affiars Forum.
However, at present, I don't like the way that threads can start (in some, not all circumstances) and be allowed to descend into chaos and bickery.
It doesn't take much for this to happen, and I don't believe it wold take all that much to put measures in place which would 'help' to prevent it.
Perhaps tighter "rules"?
I'm not a great one for RULZ, but when common decency and respect for the opinion of others appears a dificult concept to grasp for some, measures can offer a strong pointer towards acceptable behaviour.
some, by no means all of the active posters in CR seem unable to voice without fear for the strength of thier convictions, and before thought is allowed its moment have already shaped up for a fight.
how much is postage these days... and have I left room for the stamp?

There is a socio-mathematical expression for this.
The liklihood of a thread ending in a dummy-spitting, teddy chucking episode is the percieved intelligence of the poster minus the actual intelligence of the poster multiplied by the distance from the political centre of the poster.
For the mathematical among us: DummySpit=(PI-AI)x|dPC|
The lines around the dPC expression (distance from Political Centre) indicate the direction is irrelevent (Lefties or Righties).
If more than one poster in a thread scores high in the DummySpit scale, the time to actual Dummy Spit is halved for each such poster.

Foxy, I don't doubt your maths, but you've failed to take into account the psychology. This is all from a very masculine, chest beating, alpha male perspective. You need to look into the Flounceological viewpoint (similar to phenomenological, but with a flick of the hair). Dummy spit to the power of Flounce- which is the more powerful to begin with?
It's all so confusing.

It's very simple really.
A Level 1 (or Level A if you are using the Gregorian calendar) Flounce will always trump a Basic (or Ground level - again for the Gregorians) Dummy Spit.
Unless the Flounce has already been countered by a Teddy Toss of at least 4-points, counting on the Bartholemew Scale of course. If the Teddy Toss, however, was initiated by a poster at 3 or more levels below the receiver (the Flouncee as we shall call them) the Teddy Toss will partially miss, scoring no more than 2 hits against the Flouncee and causing very little loss of Health Point (HP) and gaining 0 or 1 Experience Point (XP) for the Tosser. In which case it is generally best for the Tosser not to initiate the Teddy Toss at all and to wait until a poster of higher Level takes the first Toss.

Foxy, you forgot to take into account the Hijack modifier. If the Flounce occurs in the middle of one then you add +2 points, as the Flouncer gains momentum. If the Flouncee plays the "Hard as nails" or "Tough skin" ability from the "Get a life" expansion pack (available in no stores whatsoever), it usually backfires resulting in the Penalty "Backtracking" and they suffer a loss of D6 "Respect" points. In the next round, if a similar result is acheived then the Flouncer is considered "Routed" and retreats from the thread......
And they say table top gaming is just for geeks.....:shock:

When it gets a bit samey, the Swing Master (SM) can introduce a random element (or Random_Orbit if he is available) and offer a D20 roll to anyone who is feeling brave enough to risk a gang-bang.
But a Level 3 "I didn't get laid and I've been here a week" could reverse a Flounce and cause the Flouncee to lose focus and redirect their throws. This is aimed at reproducing the Low Level but extrememly effective "Stop whinging, man!" counter throw. But, due to the sudden change of direction, the Probability Of Failure (50:50) die must be played and the throw often misses, ending up as more as a damp squib.

I lost the will to live at about three lines in whilst typing.
Discovering a new shade of fluff in my belly button gave me thrills for a minute or two.
When I looked up again the damage was done.
