And I’m making it easier for you to “take it outside.”

There was a fight and I missed it? All I seen was some guy sittin’ there laughin’ his arse off whilst another kept swingin’ an missin’. I musta been lookin’ at th’ wrong post!

when our own troubles keep on piling up, instead of working on them or seeking help from someone, we sometimes just lay all the blame on others. we work it out on others, criticize, blame, argue fight. there’s no rewards in it, the outcome of this is mostly misfortune.
if we help others, without expecting anything back, the rewards are many. but sometimes it’s very hard to help someone, sometimes he or she has to sink even a little deeper to get out.
nobody’s perfect, there’s something good too in the worst person on earth, and something bad in the best person.
lets try and help and respect ourselven and each other
I’ve seen this facility before and what I saw on it was amusing. I have no idea idea how it is meant to work nor under what circumstances (if any) I should be using it.
What I don’t understand is what use this facility would have been to any of us recently. Isn’t it for pairs of individuals with a personal grudge against eachother? If not, then I simply don’t know what it’s for.
I really don’t think there have been many (if any) personal flame wars on this board recently. (Could I really be agreeing with Serp about something? 
) What there has been is a bit of trolling and a bit of slightly insensitive flouting of the mostly unwritten rules that make things run smoothly around here. (Hi again, Serp. ) The latter was dealt with without any fuss until the trolling began.
Because we have really a rather complex system of etiquette here which allows the shy to participate happily and safely while the less shy are free to rib and razz eachother, we have a social structure that can be very easily disrupted by insensitivity and trolling. The insensitivity can be handled without too much trouble. The trolling is another matter.
Now my main point. The troll isn’t going to take things outside. Where’s the fun in that? And those of us who turned on the troll under severe provocation had to do something to alert others to what was happening. How can you do that by going outside? What is there to take outside anyway? It’s not personal. It’s just mild anger born of annoyance at seeing a functional community becoming temporarily dysfunctional because a number of trusting souls have fallen for a cheap trick. The trick has to be exposed ‘inside.’ I for one didn’t have steam to let off; I just wanted to see things return to normal.
Thanks Dale. I’m so pleased I was able to get that off my chest.
Thanks Dale, but what could be easier than hitting the “PM” icon? Some of those trollers exhibit some real CS qualities.
How long until someone creates a discussion called “Dale’s fight arena is detrimental to the site”?
I dont see a link to it on the main C&F website.
