I see what you're saying but I saw something like this happen on the Open Minds forum. Everything was fine, respectful etc. until someone started a thread by making a groundless and negative statement about the people on the forum and the Project Camelot interviews. It was three sentences long.

Within 3 weeks there had been over 60 replies and over 2000 views. Meanwhile the original poster (IMO) just sat back and laughed.

I have to agree with the above statements. I have been on several forums that started accomplishing something positive and one by one the negative innuendos, stalking, and just page after page of nonsense threads were created. Some by newbies, others by people who got angry over another post, etc. What I observed happening was too many people focused on the person(s) and little by little the productive work was deteriorating. It eventually turned into nothing more than a chat room.

I do believe in a healthy dialogue\debate if it is needed because that is how we dissect our information and come to some sort of validity. I do hope that we all agree that everyone is entitled to their opinion's having said that IMO it is all up for debate from someone's point of view. I try to remember that and be courteous as I can if it goes somewhere I don't want to be, end of discussion. We cannot be provoked unless we allow it.
