I agree.
If you're actually concerned about flame wars though, ask yourself who is
doing the flaming and who is merely defending their actions in support of
what the bulk of the community has indicated it desires... gentle guidance
to help people stick to the norms.
Consider the alternative: guidance given and received without incident, and
no flamage. Wouldn't that be much more pleasant? The appropriate response to
guidance is "thanks, I'll keep that in mind", not bucking.
I said it before... the fact that "rowdy elements" unreasonably buck against
guidance isn't going to make me (and others) stop giving it. But it does
indeed get very tiresome to get dragged into these relatively pointless
discussions about it over and over when the admins have already said it's
appropriate (and appreciated) to give gentle guidance.

| Don't you think its amazing how one post on portholes can turn into a full fledged flame war? Well, maybe they should create a lugnet newsgroup called lugnet.off-topic.post-wars IMO <<_Matt Hein_>> Lugnet member No. 1112 (23 years ago, 2-Mar-02, to lugnet.admin.general)
