Should there be a new addition to the forum? ArgueWithAssholesStyle

[Cicero]

There is something special about putting your ignorance online for all to see.

We don't need a special forum for that purpose. Many do it, every day, in thet drivel they post.

No. Because that kind of addition infects the rest of the board no matter how much you try to isolate it. People don't get the 'fuck you' and 'you're an asshole' out of their system then go back to civil debate. They just end up behaving worse on the other parts of the board because they get used to it.

We did have a "Rant and Rave" section for some time, and it was popular, but the site had an overall higher tolerance for freedom of speech at the time. It didn't solve problems, it was just a feature offered when the site had a different tone, it was popular with a lot of regular members.
