That said, I disagree with you. I like the back and forth. I like to see where people stand and I like to read posts about topics that people actually care about. It often gets out of hand (yeah, I notice the glare I'm getting from all of you fuckers), but that's the price we pay for expressing our opinions.
What exactly do you want on this board if you eliminate controversial topics? And don't say fashion.

Ah, I over-simplified. I like discussions controversial issues (especially when they trigger Jane Austen to drop the F-bomb multiple times in one post); I just find that they can become tiresome after awhile.
The [insert controversial topic here] comment wasn't intended to be my response to Paigow's poll. Rather, my point was that my "Happy Birthday" messages to anonymous posters can't be as annoying as reading the 800th post in the thread about Tiger Woods and the sociological implications of his boinking of white women only. But maybe they are to you. To-may-toe, etc.
