Just because some people aren't mature enough to have a discussion about something doesn't mean it has to be ruined for everyone else. Being able to respect someone's opinion is part of growing up, even if they disagree with you.
I mean, for a long time...

Evolution is an opinion? We've banned every nutjob fan? And... "I must say that there's no reason why we can't be adult enough to discuss who we like Sonic to be in a mutually exclusive relationship...

Yep, that's pretty much how those threads ended up. It was like verbal wrestling matches.

We do?

Oh right, the forum I avoid like the plague.

since you can't really debate with someone who won't take any other point of view into consideration except their own.

Besides, we already have a forum for that.

Miko is one of the ones who got banned because they wouldn't stop arguing that Son/Mina was the only viable relationship - even when asked to stop and even when debated and proven to be wrong in several points they made. It wasn't because they favored a certain relationship, it's because they did so in such an unreasonable manner that it was useless to debate with them, since you can't really debate with someone who won't take any other point of view into consideration...

Lame poem/dodgy almost-haiku aside, seriously. We may as well unban Miko, etc. after lifting that rule.

I have to be honest that I often feel the need to discuss these relationship issues but I wake up sweating and feel rather disoriented and afraid.

THE TOPIC IS AN AMOEBA.

Did somebody call my name?

Anyhow.

Personally, I think all of the meta-discussion (ie, discussions about relationship discussion) is getting a little tiresome. Am I wrong, or doesn't someone bring it up every couple of months or so, either here or in knothole itself, or in creepy youtube videos recorded in one's own bedroom while pacing around and mumbling about the right to free speech about Sonic characters...

there actually used to be a notice up on Knothole for YEARS after it was implemented. Someone must have taken it down at some point because I didn't even realize it was gone.

No, it's not gone. It's in the same place it's always been: the Knothole Topic List, which has a note to read before posting.

It's the same reasoning as to why they just ban a drug altogether instead of just dealing with the repercussions of it. Why would you deal with the results of Meth or Crack when you can just make them illegal and only have to deal with the people that purposefully want to break the rules.

A lock keeps an honest man honest and a forum rule keeps a intelligent forumer intelligent.

In the Amy vs. Mina thread in Knothole, Jinsoku made a point about the relationship rule that caught my attention, "I'd rather wait for the idiots to start spouting the hateful comments and stupidity and pick them off, one by one."

I've already responded to that within the topic but I'd like to mention my response here, because though there's a rule against discussing relationships in the Knothole board, there doesn't seem to be a rule...
