Nope. I said I won't close the thread if you can express your ideas without shreading each other apart. The debate was really nothing more than a verbal slug-festt. I don't need that. The NOLA thread is a real debate thread, I see no reason to close it. Jen disagrees with a lot of mine and Adriana's ideas, and I haven't had to close a thread until tonight. I'm not placing the blame entirely on you or Adriana, but the both of you. I realize and recognize that on DirtyJokesInc things did get a bit heated, but remember that was also during the Bert era. If I allow too much to go on, I'll end up allowing Bert-style posts in the end, and I created this forum so that we could discuss without the barrage of personal attacks. The thread was getting nowhere fast, I had no choice but to close it.
