Well I have to disagree, MMario and Steve Gardham! Not contradictory at all.

I'm convinced that the lack of flaming, trolling, swearing and generally puerile behaviour on the forum I referred to is precisely because the would-be flamers, trolls, foul-mouths, and buffoons who never got out of the school playground are fully aware that their membership (and therefore their ability to post on the forum) would be very short-lived indeed if they gave vent to that kind of behaviour. So occurrences are delightfully rare.

I enjoy civilised debate, and I'm happy to concede that others' opinions might have equal weight to mine, but I don't enjoy the kind of round-and-round, name-calling, abusive stuff we get here, and which ruins what would otherwise have been interesting and enjoyable threads. I left that stuff behind when I left school and started my first job.

My opinion FWIW. I expect many will disagree, and that's fine by me - just keep your disagreement civil please! :-)
