[QUOTE="Torm, post: 1982341, member: 12706"] [I]I apologize to the moderators if this belongs in Meta, but I couldn't [I]find[/I] Meta, so I'll post it here. If there is a Meta, I'd be glad to have this moved there, if you could point it out to me. Thanks.[/I] Does ENWorld need a Flaming Forum? Someplace to direct people to take their arguments if they get heated, or to move entire threads to if they break down like that? I know the idea is that we should all try not to offend Eric's Grandma, but in the past couple of years of lurking and/or posting on the board, I've noticed that there are certain topics that seem to inevitably bring hard feelings into the matter. One, for example, is Paladins and their Faiths (and no, this isn't what I want the topic of this thread to be about, please) - people tend to bring real world religions into it and some don't seem to be able to take others' comments about their religion for what they are worth - the ramblings of somebody you don't really know on a [I]message board[/I] (however illustrious this one may be) ;). When it comes to stuff like this, would ENWorld benefit for someplace they can 'take it outside' and get it all out - or do you think it might just make things worse? [/QUOTE]
