[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doc Tor: [QB] Hell is not the safety valve for [i]emotion[/i]. People can argue passionately about all kinds of things, across almost all of the boards. Hell is the safety valve for the [i]Ship[/i]. It's an elegant solution to keep the rest of the boards functioning: the pub car-park to Purgatory's Lounge Bar, if you will. The problem, as I see it, is that some shipmates refuse to avail themselves of Hell as often as they ought, for one of two reasons: firstly, because by they think it's admitting defeat - their powers of oratory and rhetoric are so blindingly obvious that only a fool or a scoundrel would refused to be persuaded; and secondly, because they think it's beneath them - only the proles engage in uncouth fisticuffs down in the Infernal Regions, and decent folk ought not sully their fists there. There is a certain amount of self-policing that's expected, especially of shippies with four-figure posting records. You know how it works. If you find yourself being asked to step outside on a frequent basis, then you either pull up your big girl panties and accept that as a natural consequence of your posting style (Hell has 'frequent flyer' threads), or you wind your neck back in and apologise. It's as much your call as it is ours. More so, in fact. [/QB][/QUOTE]
