" You know who is primarily associated with this trick."

If I am the one you are talking about it is because a number of JACKASSES have associated me with that trick. Are you one of them? The only reason I would start a new thread on the same topic is this. "others would like to discuss or chat about the same topic. " to reboot from the bickering so that hopefully some non-bickerers can have something to say.

I would LOVE to start a discussion about a cartoon or a debate and have it run its course and drop off the board.    I refuse to be bullied into not talking about the things I am interested. Max has given us a way to deal with bullies. It is working for me. When I see that the intent is to bicker rather than discuss, I decline the invitation to bicker. If I see bullying and insults, I remind the bully of the rules.

If you think your suggestion that thread ghettos for the bickerers would work and that they will willingly confine their bickering to those threads, by all means give it a try. Personally, I think it would be an insane waste of time. Trying is sometimes the only way to learn. Go for it.
