This thread has really wandered...maybe we should start a thread so everyone can attack JR...
I havent seen anyone attack him actually. What ive seen is people ask him why he does the things he complains about. Keep in mind it was those reasons he used for why he wants a "positive" only forum. And i think when you go out of the way to give those examples yet are part of the problem than i beg to question the reasoning behind it. But, i havent seen anyone call him names or anything else in here have you?
Ok, back to the topic of the thread, which is whether or not to have a positive only forum or thread.
I think we've seen enough stones lobbed from glass houses in this thread, and don't want to discourage others from posting their opinions.
so how does everyone ELSE really feel about having a safe area to play in.
at the other site, it was a place that most didn't visit. Even though I didn't post there, I never seemed to feel it was something "in the way" or something that caused anyone else any kind of problems (thats obviously not looking at it from a mod point of view, because I dont know what extra work that would entail). But if some really want to just post and read purely positive posts, I don't see why not have a place for it? Have it an opt-in so that people understand that its purely for positive thoughts/messages/points/posts, and if they do post a comment that isn't glazed over with umber, then they lose their priv to get into the forum.
Really, to me, if its a matter of providing a place that more can feel comfortable and welcome... then I'm all for it.
The mod difficulties will be to sort out when something is positive or is it negative. We know some can't keep from insulting past coaches/FO, even if/when they do it as a back-handed attempt to compliment the current coach/FO. Things like that have to be considered and posted on the rules wall of the opt-in.

I read and posted in the OCG forum on the "other" MB. It was nice to go somewhere that didn't habe a bunch of negative BS to sort through. It's bad enough to lose a game or two but when you have to read all the "So and so sucks, they should be fired!" posts and threads it just gets depressing.
