Soapbox v\s Lounge
-
Generally things that may offend somebody/anybody should be in soapbox, where it generally appears to be ok. Example : I don't believe in God/Allah/Baked Beans The arguments then ensue. Be sure to be able to back your views, and that is ok. Do not hit and run, that is do not disagree, then insult and refuse to explain why you are expressing a different view. Believe me, most people will disagree with your views, but will be prepared to listen/argue/respond sensibly if you explain why you hold them. Some do not do this and are widely hated for it! As for the lounge, it is a venerable thing, some members can get away with things that noobs cannot. Also, I can riff someone like Ravel,Mustafa Ismail Mustafa or Anna-Jayne Metcalfe because of knowing them well, even in the lounge. In the lounge, keep it polite, interesting, novel or amusing. (You will be told when they ain't!)

What the H*ll do you have against baked beans. You baked bean haters are anti-legume-speciesests (yes I said it!) and deny all the the wonderful benifits [^]of the bean. I urge you to renounce your extreme and radical position.

We're just an easy going, happy go lucky bunch here in the SB. The Lounge Lizards are a prudish, back stabbing, narrow minded lot.
I thought its other way around

In ancient Egypt a man could by taxes by working on the various public works. Perhaps a modern alternative could have people farting in a Bean/Methane facility for a month? Who said the SB was full of cra stupid ideas.

Short answer: Chris has everyone under control in the Lounge; in the Soapbox, the inmates are revolting. ;)

And Ilidiot is the stupid one, dropping the soap all the time. Makes me wonder if he does it on purpose!

Yup. Isn't it nice when you find someone that knows that friendship and debate can go hand in hand?

Hey now don't go changing the rules. If people in here have to back up what they are saying the soapbox will be dead by morning..... As such, I proclaim myself King of the Moon.
All hail to the King. Now get back to your kingdom and let us know when it's safe to return there. :)
