Quoting Alfredo Daniel Rezinovsky, from the post of Mon, 16 Aug:Some cultures have centuries long legacies of being great conquerors, we have a centuries long legacy of disagreeing and arguing a lot, and some pretty good books of law were created in the process.
In Mendoza, Argentina, we have succesufully reduced the SNR by creating
a list that allows ANY discussion. When a flame is started in the lug
list We just continue the thread in that other list.
That only works in civilized countries. This is Israel and Jews like to
argue (it's in our genes) and a good flame cannot be given up to some
other list. It has to stay and be seen or else it's not worth starting
in the first place.
I think that makes *us* the civilized ones.
If this list was moderated and flames were stopped even before going in, you would immediatly see 50% of the posters unsubscribe since "it's not fun anymore".
I'm sorry if I'm too cynical about it, but I have been on this list for 10 years now (when is our birthday, btw?) and I learned that you can't avoid the flames, you can only step out of the kitchen for short periods, which I have done as well on occasion.
