What is the added value of having it? People getting mad at each other?
People insulting each other? People ridiculing ones faith / politics etc.? I
think it is useless. If you want to debate, go somewhere else. That's my
opinion. I leave it for Todd to decide either way. I think the bad items in
debate are worse than the good, if any, it generates.

See above, and I am away from it, and have been for awhile.

If I remember correctly, Chris, you seemed to have this opinon as well for
religious matters as well (maybe something else) I won't go into a ten page
discussion on the merits of having it or not having it, I would like to see
it gone, that's my opinion. I think it is bad for LUGNET for the hostility
and anger it seems to produce, and it would be a more family-friendly and
nice place without it.
