Let 'em go at it I reckon.
I skim read them or dont bother at all...its that simple.
If newbies read them and judge the whole of the cellar on those kinda threads, they arent going to want to hang around long anyways.
Any forum worth a pinch of shit has volatile topic threads, I like them because it shows different sides of the *characters* I have come to know and love
its more of a whole picture.
