So I went to bed, because i had to... and yup, I wake up in the morning and check and someone's crying and someone's screaming and someone's name-calling and three people have gone quiet...
Cynic's now on moderation, and I've pointed out that logically, it would make more sense to tailor his method of speaking to his audience if he wants them to listen to him. (Ie - use some tact.)
I don't need this. I don't want to squash the thread, because it HAS been interesting and a lot of people are involved in it... but I will if it degenerates much further.
I HATE spam.

What I've done is send out a message from the Mod Squad (we created a group address so it's more anonymous - that way none of us gets fingers pointed at us.) asking for a 24-hour hiatus on the topic, giving people time to phrase things more tactfully and cool off a bit.
Thanks for the hugs.

Date: 2003-12-07 12:45 pm (UTC)Yeah - I just went a joined up actually. Not to join in the argument, but more because I like to browse around various INFP groups.
OTOH - it might be the list from hell you're thinking of
Nah - it's really not. I hope you didn't think I was insulting your list :) I meant that I was moderator for an INFP list a couple of years ago that suffered a total meltdown. Very stressful for all concerned.

Hmmm. We're keeping an eye on you, young lady. Don't think you'll get out of it
