Consequently we either have to accept that there will be 'flame wars' on some threads and just avoid those that have become pissing contests or we must have some way of regulating the content of the threads. As I said earlier I'm on the fence about that one - there are advantages and disadvantages both ways.

If we accept the reality there will be the same old flame wars and pissing contests as we currently have - what is the point of ALSO have an unfair form of 'regulating' like we have now where others judging for us what words of ours will stay and what words of others we are allowed to see?

This does not work so obviously is not presenting any advantage but it is presenting a big disadvantage to anyone who feels themselves adult enough to make and be allowed to make these choices for themselves.

As has been said many many times before - if you disagree with the way in which the site owner has set up his site you don't have to come in here.

Max has set-up the BS section so that you do not have to be a member to contribute and this has been the case for all of our forum. It is Joe Offer who is now stating that he wishes the change and making this proposal - are you telling Joe Offer that he does not have to post here if he does not like the way Max has set it up?
