<< i would oppose excluding them or setting up private chat rooms. >> Buts!!!!!!!!! I agree, if you are setting up a chat room, and want to carry the personal attacks with you. But, if you want to set up an easy going, friendly, no personal attack, chat forum, both sides would be wise to exclude those that would bring animosity to the chat forum. Chatting is great. It is live. I'm just looking at the social side of the chat idea. I'm a frequent user of chat, mostly for politics and religious debates. The problem is that it takes up too much time. I've gotten so deep into chatting debates that I haven't noticed the time, and I've had to go from my PC directly to work. Now....... that's a long, long day when you haven't had any sleep! (of course, that's what they make "sick time" for. <G> << ... the best solution to quiet them would be for LGND to break out to 20+ >> Never happen. The animosity has nothing to do with LGND. This could be a MSFT or a ASND thread, and the adversarial situation would be the same, since Henry is blamed for someone's losing his shirt. LGND could be at $100, and the situation would change little. Hey! Are you still in the news business? What was the most interesting news event that you had to handle? (This would be an excellent type of question for a chat forum). Good luck, Bob |
