I think Vorlon meant that WW3 can be in danger of starting if people complain about threads/posts in the open, on the board instead of quietly consulting a moderator and thus hopefully avoiding unnecessary conflict.

We shouldn't be afraid to complain or at lease debate between ourselves. If a thread is unfair or degrading it should be reported and be held in confidence, If however, individuals choose to discuss, debate or argue there points of view then we should be prepared to uphold that right. Very few of us have escaped criticism when we have asserted ourselves and opinions, its called life. If we are to avoid unnecessary conflict then respect the opinion of other in the same way as you yourselves seek respect for your own.

Re: Answers and Comments Please
lol my post 56 was referring to Pixie's quotation from Voltaire, not what Doug said.
But on the subject of your post Doug I agree that a bit of good healthy debate never went amaiss if people can refrain from insulting each other or taking offence. However I can also understand why moderators prefer to have some things said in confidence so that they can perhaps then have a quiet word with the person in question and avoid unnecessary problems.
