XDTalk is meeting place of ideas and XDs (BTW). Lets keep it at this level and lay off of the petty stuff.

Your Friendly Mod,
Old School

Note: Should you have a beef with another member, keep it between PMs, leave it off of the board. If you are unable to do that, I will need to step in.
+100

Can you also include threads that were started in order to instigate these kinds of things, as well as threads that unfairly portray mods as being biased?

Here is a good example of a recent thread that falls into both of these categories. It was started for no other reason than to cause trouble.

Locked Threads

I think it should be locked.

Thanks Old School,

Frank

Yet again, my subtle attempts at humor prove to be too subtle without smilies.

So calling someone a Liberal is an insult - how about calling someone a Conservative?

Thanks, Old School. Posts in some threads are "getting out of hand". I like your suggestion to go to PMs for the petty disagreements and personal attacks, i.e. "take it outside".

As long as everyone is treated equally, regardless of their politics, I'll do my part to help mitigate the problem .

The "ignore" list is my friend.
