If the thread is meant to be thought-provoking and not start heated emotional arguments, that's okay. Either participate in the thread or don't. Report the thread if you're unsure. But YOU - yes, you who's reading this - have a huge say in whether a thread sinks or swims. Provocative threads can turn into absolutely fascinating discussions if people post interesting insights. Try to make that be what happens.But for people who post those provocative threads, please be very aware of your language. Biasing the discussion by using emotionally loaded words or premises can really backfire. We'd rather not have that.Okay, back to the thread. Drop any of us an email to discuss this further. - Piratecat</blockquote>
