The actual argument can already be done via PM. I don't currently perceive the benefit of allowing the same thing to be done in front of a non-participatory viewing audience.
It can be justified for the same reasons that we have seen dogpiling justified- that there is a broader, community interest in the personal dispute, in which there are many stakeholders. The justification for making a personal argument public is therefore the public interest. The justification for having the MAAN thread as well as Hell is that it gives the adjuvant opportunity for that personal argument to take place without public interference, which often precludes resolution.
I fail to see how you can describe people as 'stakeholders' in one part of this paragraph, and then say the same people are responsible for 'public interference' in another.

Technology has brought us all closer together. Turns out a lot of the people you meet as a result are complete idiots.

Just for the record, where has a Host (or anyone else, really) said that dogpiling is justifiable in the public or community interest? It's a long thread.....

I believe Marvin said so, though I'm afraid I'm not going to back that up by searching through all the threads to find a link.

What I've said is that in my years of hosting Hell I cannot recall a single "dogpile" that wasn't richly deserved.

Yes, and you've made your viewpoint clear enough on what sort of 'dogpile' they richly deserve. quote:

That's what I think, anyway.

The hyperness of his hole is most certainly not lost on me.

Personal attacks do not belong in the Styx. If you want to fight with Marvin, take it elsewhere.
