I am wondering what people would think if there were a group

   lugnet.off-topic.debate.flame

where, basically, anything goes:  rudeness, complete gruffness, even
profanity.  (When I say anything, BTW, I mean anything but copyright
violations or other illegalities, etc.)

Todd, of course you have the rule, and it will be your decision at the
end but since you asked for opinions, I go for a very strong NO!

You have reasons to consider for doing such a thing but I don't believe
it would add any good to Lugnet. Actually all of the things that I can
say against it was already said by many other fellows, but since I think
one more vote is one more vote, I just give the example below:

"Yeah, you are right, I already commented about your mother's sexual
abilities last week, but you know, it was on .flame, do not take it
seriously, so we are friends again right?"

Wouldn't work.

The only thing this proposed group would add is hatred and more bad
feelings. It would supply us with a tool to make small debates/fights
irrecoverably deep. We must obey some rules to live in any community,
and I can't see any other healthy communities supplying means to able
its members puking others' faces, because it is not necessary. It's just
against philosophy of living together within a community

This is ultimately a CFD (call for discussion) for a new newsgroup, but also asking what I think may be an important question. It's a taboo question, so do try to keep an open mind. The question is: Are we trying to be too nice to one another? The (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.announce) !!
