Why are they deleted? I just wrote the an elaborate post in respose to Syous views in another thread and when I pressed submit the whole thread was gone : ) I realize the need for moderators to monitor threads for a number of things, but why such a rash “no” to all threads that cover ‘important’ aspects of life? Not whining, just curious… :kir: ---

Because they end in disatser 100% of the time since no one is willing to accept anyone elses views - especially on the internet. ---

Sorry about that, but unfortunately that’s the law around here. My bad for even getting involved with it, but I had to take care of it. Long ago we had a forum for debates and it got ugly. At that time Kirupa decided we wouldn’t allow such topics any more. It’s a shame, but it’s the way it is. ---

Also people like whining about dumb annoying things. ---

But discussion is so much fun! : D Contrary to popular belief, discussion != argument. A discussion helps you define your opinions and if need be, defend them. There’s nothing quite like being in a discussion and come to a sudden realization that you can’t really define why you have a certain opinion and there and then changing it. :love: ---

I agree 100% but I don’t make the rules, I just enforce them. :shrug: ---

It turns into argument pretty much 100% of the time, that’s the logic behind why they aren’t allowed. I’d be all for them ('cause I’m always right :lol:), but thems the rules. ---

: ) I guess it helps maintain a positive atmosphere between members though. If you don’t know they are nazis, there’s no reason for you to dislike them etc 😃 [ot] We had a tornado in Chicago tonight. Exciting ;p Off to bed! [/ot] ---

There IS a forum for this sort of thing, but it’s not part of [Kirupa.com](http://Kirupa.com). It’s kind of a secret. But not really. But it is by invite. Invite me to invite you. ---

Mac vs PC, Politics and Religion are the 3 things you just don’t discuss on the internet. Oh and btw Ninjas are better then Pirates. ---

Yes debates can easily be mistaken for arguments, and can easily be turned into arguments. Oh well =/ Another day Sekasi, another day. 8) ---

I agree with your view, and I regret times were heated discussions would make the forums a little more fun. Having said that, there are two kind of forums, the Flash/technical bit and the reviews/critics/random. I rarely visit the former, but I believe it has kept its strength and is a very good knowledge base. ---

We had an entire forum for debate and such before, and it ended for good reason. Though, I do miss reading Ordered; I never actually posted there that I can remember. I feel like all kinds of random places are having tornados. We had a tornado here as well, but I didn’t even know about it! I can’t believe I missed it… ---

I think its good that we all save our anger for our loved ones. Makes it much more personal! 😛
