Forum Wars MisterLawrencex
It seems that these days you dare not even post in the forum without someone taking offense. The simplest of things leads to the longest of threads and people hurling abuse at each other. We have all seen them, the 200 plus replies mainly created by the same two or three all dying for the last word.

Topics with innocent subjects seem to be hijacked by whoever is having a bad day, then they find someone else who is having a bad week, and the recipe for a forum war has been created.

Threads such as I will wipe X crew gets turned back on the creator. "Don't talk about it, just do it" replies fly into the thread before even the fastest HDO can shout "off topic".

How long until I rank to peewee, Godfather or Don is slam-dunked with accusations of being a forum whore as the subject gets ignored and the abuse runs more free than a musk at a rats brothel. In fact it raises the question, how much is a forum whore and how long do I get with him / her for my money?

Keep your threads relevant, interesting and polite and they might just, maybe if its a good day, not become part of the latest BL sport: abusing and hijacking threads.
