I think a new thread with the following rules would be fine:
- No RLM discussion (can be touched on, but I'm fine with RLM videos being in the RLM thread, clearly it's become a distraction no matter how you feel about them)
- No personal attacks or saying shit like "You're an idiot if you like X"
For the latter, it's less about censorship of free speech and more that everyone has trotted that line out at least four different times in support of their "argument" except it doesn't support any argument and I'm sick of reading it.
I think this board could support a healthy Star Trek discussion and it wouldn't take much, just people not acting like fucking howler monkeys flinging shit at each other basically.
Cindi was on the right track with her separate thread. If it was allowed to stay separate and was retitled instead of merged, this mess would have been avoided.
