i believe you misunderstood my post, sparky

i used Jellah's unusual thread as one which imposed limits which exceeded those of the board. not unlike the premise of the OP in this thread

Jellah's approach would seem to be something worthy of piloting in its own mini-forum so that the concept might multiply and delve into a discussion of topics without the usual partisan language intruding on the dialogue

So Jellah's thread is like Vietnam? We must engage in a containment policy?

my metaphor is a bit different

i see it as a place where people can get their political groove on wearing a condom so they don't pick up stuff they did not bargain for

Jellah's thread rocks. Check it out. It's completely refreshing.

You think I haven't, and posted in it?

Jellah will probably get a kick out of her thread being a political condom. It does keep the name calling from impregnating the debate with ad hominems.

I hope the condom isn't broken.
